  • Bayesian Methods for Syndromic Surveillance

    Content Type: Abstract

    Syndromic surveillance needs to be (1) transparent, (2) actionable, and (3) flexible. Traditional frequentist approaches to syndromic surveillance, such as cusum charts and scan statistics, tend to fail on all three criteria. First, the validity of… read more

  • A spatio-temporal absorbing state model for disease and syndromic surveillance

    Content Type: Abstract

    The goal of disease and syndromic surveillance is to monitor and detect aberrations in disease prevalence across space and time. Disease surveillance typically refers to the monitoring of confirmed cases of disease, whereas syndromic… read more
