The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducts annual influenza surveillance, and includes measures of inpatient and... Read more
Content type: Abstract
Syndromic surveillance data such as the incidence of influenza-like illness (ILI) is broadly monitored to provide awareness of respiratory disease epidemiology. Diverse algorithms have been employed to find geospatial trends in surveillance data, however, these methods often do not point to a... Read more
