Bayesian Methods for Syndromic Surveillance
Content Type: Abstract
Syndromic surveillance needs to be (1) transparent, (2) actionable, and (3) flexible. Traditional frequentist approaches to syndromic surveillance, such as cusum charts and scan statistics, tend to fail on all three criteria. First, the validity of… read more… analogous way).

Data-Adapted Temporal Alerting Algorithms for Routine Health Monitoring
Content Type: Abstract
This paper discusses selection of temporal alerting algorithms for syndromic surveillance to achieve reliable detection performance based on statistical properties and the epidemiological context of the input data. We used quantities calculated from… read more… signals. Sensitivity values were recorded for practical back- ground alert rates to compare algorithm detection …
