Identifying High-Risk Areas for Dengue Infection Using Mobility Patterns on Twitter
Content Type: Abstract
Traditionally, surveillance systems for dengue and other infectious diseases locate each individual case by home address, aggregate these locations to small areas, and monitor the number of cases in each area over time. However, human mobility plays… read more… plays a key role in dengue transmission, especially due to the mosquito day-biting habit, and relying solely on … plays a key role in dengue transmission, especially due to the mosquito day-biting habit, and relying solely on … -
A Space Time Permutation Scan Statistic with Irregular Shape for Disease Outbreak Detection
Content Type: Abstract
This paper describes a methodology for detecting irregular space-time cluster using the space time permutation scan statistic. The methodology includes sequential Monte Carlo simulation and distribution approximation to estimate the error type I.… and time ap- proaches were tested. Results show that all methods provide outbreak detection but the arbitrary in … Permutation Scan Statistic for Disease Outbreak De- tection, PLoS Medicine. 2005; 2:216-224.
