Evaluating the Performance of a Spatial Scan Statistic Using Simulated Outbreak Characteristics
Content Type: Abstract
Research evaluating the use of spatial data for surveillance purposes is ongoing and evolving. As spatial methods evolve, it is important to characterize their effectiveness in real-world settings. Assessing the performance of… read more… outbreak data (signal) into actual background visit data.

Using Open-Source Grid-Computing Technology to Improve Processing Time for Geospatial Syndromic Surveillance Data
Content Type: Abstract
Outbreak detection algorithms for syndromic surveillance data are becoming increasingly complex. Initial algorithms focused on temporal data but newer methods incorporate geospatial dimensions. As methods evolve, it is important to understand the… read more… to maintain the maximum allowed number of pending jobs (70) in the queue.
