Efficient Nonparametric Subgraph Detection Using Tree Shaped Priors
Non-parametric graph scan (NPGS) statistics are used to detect anomalous connected subgraphs on graphs, and have a wide variety of applications, such as disease outbreak detection, road traffic congestion detection, and event detection in social media. In contrast to traditional parametric scan statistics (e.g., the Kulldorff statistic), NPGS statistics are free of distributional assumptions an...
متن کاملA Nonparametric Scan Statistic for Multivariate Disease Surveillance
OBJECTIVE We present a new method for multivariate outbreak detection, the “nonparametric scan statistic” (NPSS). NPSS enables fast and accurate detection of emerging space-time clusters using multiple disparate data streams, including nontraditional data sources where standard parametric model assumptions are incorrect. BACKGROUND Expectation-based scan statistics [1] extend the traditional sp...
متن کاملMixture Likelihood Ratio Scan Statistic for Disease Outbreak Detection
Early detection of disease outbreaks is of paramount importance to implementing intervention strategies to mitigate the severity and duration of the outbreak. We build methodology that utilizes the characteristic profile of disease outbreaks to reduce the time to detection and false positive rate. We model daily counts through a Poisson distribution with additive background plus outbreak compon...

متن کاملHuman Rights Event Detection from Heterogeneous Social Media Graphs.
Human rights organizations are increasingly monitoring social media for identification, verification, and documentation of human rights violations. Since manual extraction of events from the massive amount of online social network data is difficult and time-consuming, we propose an approach for automated, large-scale discovery and analysis of human rights-related events. We apply our recently d...
