Effect of Work-related Mobility in the Simulation of Aerosol Anthrax Releases with BARD
Content Type: Abstract
An important problem in biosurveillance is the early detection and characterization of outdoor aerosol releases of B. anthracis. The Bayesian Aerosol Release Detector (BARD) is a system for simulating, detecting and characterizing such releases… read more… it takes into account the work-related mobility and to com- pare the refined simulator with the existing one. … Then we computed the number of cases and the time of ED visit for each case based on the exposure level of a … -
Identifying Categories of Over-the-Counter Products with Superior Outbreak Detection Performance
Content Type: Abstract
A significant research topic in biosurveillance is how to group individual events—such as single emergency department (ED) visits and sales of over-thecounter healthcare (OTC) products—into counts of “similar” events. For OTC products, the goal is… read more… data and applied it to OTC product sales data and ED ILI visit data in southwest- ern PA. The dataset of OTC sales …
