Choice of Baseline Period for Limited Baseline Aberration Detection Methods
Content Type: Abstract
This paper evaluates the operating characteristics of limited baseline aberration detection methods using different lengths (7-28 days) and end dates (1-7 days prior to the current day) for the baseline period using simulated outbreaks added to real… read more… as a tool for on-going syn- dromic surveillance [2].
