Methodology for prediction of outbreaks of diseases of military importance
Content Type: Abstract
Traditional public health practice has relied on public health surveillance of disease to detect outbreaks in an effort to mitigate their effects. Often the earlier an outbreak is detected, the greater the mitigation of its effects. The logical… read more… bacterial diarrheal diseases, and dengue fever as the top three endemic threats to deployed US forces. Of those … health interventions. For rigorous disease prediction, all predictor variables need to be collected for the … realistic prediction, that is, one in which the values of all the predictor variables can be obtained before … -
Dengue Fever Outbreak Prediction
Content Type: Abstract
Dengue fever is endemic in over 100 countries and there are an estimated 50 - 100 million cases annually. There is no vaccine for dengue fever yet, and the mortality rate of the severe form of the disease, dengue hemorrhagic fever, ranges from 10-20… read more… permitting all non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in … ehtj11115 ehtj11120 ehtj11024 ehtj11060 ehtj11110 26-50 ehtj11034 ehtj11198 ehtj11174 ehtj11048 ehtj11154 … -
Support Vector Machines for Syndromic Surveillance
Content Type: Abstract
Early and reliable detection of anomalies is a critical challenge in disease surveillance. Most surveillance systems collect data from multiple data streams but the majority of monitoring is performed at univariate time series… read more… con- sists of: 1) Learning the model of normalcy; 2) De- tecting anomalies based on their dissimilarity from …
