It is increasingly critical to test antibiotics on local bacterial strains, due to the continuously growing resistance of microflora to extensively administered antibacterial medications. For this study, we examined the development of antimicrobial… read more -
Application of a Bayesian Spatiotemporal Surveillance Method to NYC Syndromic Data
Content Type: Abstract
As technology advances, the implementation of statistically and computationally intensive methods to detect unusual clusters of illness becomes increasingly feasible at the state and local level [2]. Bayesian methods allow for the incorporation of… read more -
Application of EWMA and CUSUM models to School Absenteeism Surveillance for Detecting Infectious Disease Outbreaks in Rural China
