A Dirichlet process model for classifying and forecasting epidemic curves
BACKGROUND A forecast can be defined as an endeavor to quantitatively estimate a future event or probabilities assigned to a future occurrence. Forecasting stochastic processes such as epidemics is challenging since there are several biological, behavioral, and environmental factors that influence the number of cases observed at each point during an epidemic. However, accurate forecasts of epid...
متن کاملA suitable data model for HIV infection and epidemic detection
Background: In recent years, there has been an increase in the amount and variety of data generated in the field of healthcare, (e.g., data related to the prevalence of contagious diseases in the society). Various patterns of individuals’ relationships in the society make the analysis of the network a complex, highly important process in detecting and preventing the incidence of diseases....
متن کاملDirichlet Process based model for GWAS
Human population have large genetic variation. Genetic variations are usually characterized by Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP). These are the location of variation in the genome sequence of two individuals. Identification of SNPs affecting human phenotype, especially leading to risks of complex disorders, is one of the key problems of medical genetics. In this project we build a probabilis...
متن کاملA Review of Epidemic Forecasting Using Artificial Neural Networks
Background and aims: Since accurate forecasts help inform decisions for preventive health-careintervention and epidemic control, this goal can only be achieved by making use of appropriatetechniques and methodologies. As much as forecast precision is important, methods and modelselection procedures are critical to forecast precision. This study aimed at providing an overview o...
متن کاملA Dirichlet Process Mixture Model for Spherical Data
Directional data, naturally represented as points on the unit sphere, appear in many applications. However, unlike the case of Euclidean data, flexible mixture models on the sphere that can capture correlations, handle an unknown number of components and extend readily to high-dimensional data have yet to be suggested. For this purpose we propose a Dirichlet process mixture model of Gaussian di...
