Probabilistic Daily ILI Syndromic Surveillance with a Spatio-Temporal Bayesian Hierarchical Model
BACKGROUND For daily syndromic surveillance to be effective, an efficient and sensible algorithm would be expected to detect aberrations in influenza illness, and alert public health workers prior to any impending epidemic. This detection or alert surely contains uncertainty, and thus should be evaluated with a proper probabilistic measure. However, traditional monitoring mechanisms simply prov...
متن کاملSurveillance of dengue vectors using spatio-temporal Bayesian modeling
BACKGROUND At present, dengue control focuses on reducing the density of the primary vector for the disease, Aedes aegypti, which is the only vulnerable link in the chain of transmission. The use of new approaches for dengue entomological surveillance is extremely important, since present methods are inefficient. With this in mind, the present study seeks to analyze the spatio-temporal dynamics...
متن کاملHierarchical Bayesian space-time interpolation versus spatio-temporal BME approach
Abstract. The restrictions of the analysis of natural processes which are observed at any point in space or time to a purely spatial or purely temporal domain may cause loss of information and larger prediction errors. Moreover, the arbitrary combinations of purely spatial and purely temporal models may not yield valid models for the space-time domain. For such processes the variation can be ch...
متن کاملClimatological Analysis of Tornado Report Counts Using a Hierarchical Bayesian Spatio-Temporal Model
Recent evidence suggests that tornado report counts for monthly or longer periods may be correlated to climate indices in space and time. However, climatological analysis of tornado reports is complicated by reporting errors, the non-Gaussian nature of count data and rare events, and the presence of spatial and temporal correlation. Typically, such factors have not been formally included in the...
متن کاملSpatio-Temporal Disease Surveillance
There are two principal impediments in statistical process control methods for the detection of bio-terrorism events: firstly, these methods aggregate over space by examining total counts and thus ignore the spatial dimension of the task and secondly they fail to adjust for the usual (seasonal) behaviour of diseases (e.g., Steiner et al., 2011 where the focus is early detection of the start of ...
