A Flexible Space-Time Scan Statistic for Disease Outbreak Detection and Monitoring
Content Type: Abstract
A time periodic geographic disease surveillance system based on a cylindrical space-time scan statistic proposed by Kulldorff [1] has been used extensively for disease surveillance along with the SaTScan software. This statistic is based on a… read more… detected by the circular spatial scan statistic. However, due to the unlimited geometric freedom of cluster shapes, … detected by the circular spatial scan statistic. However, due to the unlimited geometric freedom of cluster shapes, … -
Multi-Syndrome Analysis of Time Series: A New Concept for Outbreak Investigation
Content Type: Abstract
Temporal anomaly detection is a key component of real time surveillance. Today, despite the abundance of temporal information on multiple syndromes, multivariate investigation of temporal anomalies remains under-explored. Traditionally, an outbreak… read more… the daily syndromic rates into the five dimensional space de- fined by the eigenvectors of the correlation matrix of … Thus, this framework can detect outlying signals that are due to mean shifts, scale shifts, or both. Part of the data … -
