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 -
Estimation And Validation of An Outbreak Simulator
Content Type: Abstract
In previous work, we described a non-disease-specific outbreak simulator for the evaluation of outbreak detection algorithms. This Template-Driven Simulator generates disease patterns using user-defined template functions.… read more -
The Potential of Hospital Data Sources for Influenza Surveillance
Content Type: Abstract
Influenza is an important public health problem associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. A disease traditionally monitored via legally mandated reporting, researchers have identified alternative data sources for… read more -
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
