Alert Threshold Algorithms and Malaria Epidemic Detection
We describe a method for comparing the ability of different alert threshold algorithms to detect malaria epidemics and use it with a dataset consisting of weekly malaria cases collected from health facilities in 10 districts of Ethiopia from 1990 to 2000. Four types of alert threshold algorithms are compared: weekly percentile, weekly mean with standard deviation (simple, moving average, and lo...
متن کاملON THE STABILITY AND THRESHOLD ANALYSIS OF AN EPIDEMIC MODEL
We consider a mathematical model of epidemic spread in which the population is partitioned into five compartments of susceptible S(t), Infected I(t), Removed R(t), Prevented U(t) and the Controlled W(t). We assume each of the compartments comprises of cohorts of individuals which are identical with respect to the disease status. We derive five systems of equations to represent each of the ...
متن کاملAlert Detection
We present Nodeinfo, an unsupervised algorithm for anomaly detection in system logs. We demonstrate Nodeinfo’s effectiveness on data from four of the world’s most powerful supercomputers: using logs representing over 746 million processor-hours, in which anomalous events called alerts were manually tagged for scoring, we aim to automatically identify the regions of the log containing those aler...
متن کاملDetecting Epidemic Malaria, Uganda
To the Editor: In the fi eld of malaria epidemic early warning, there exists an unfortunate but frequently accurate perception that health systems in many affected countries learn of epidemics by way of the popular press rather than through formal disease surveillance systems. Malaria epidemics are often easily recognized (albeit too late) by laypersons (1), but most routine disease surveillanc...
متن کاملPrediction-based Threshold for Medication Alert
This study presents a prediction-based approach to determine thresholds for a medication alert in a computerized physician order entry. Traditional static thresholds can sometimes lead to physician's alert fatigue or overlook potentially excessive medication even if the doses are belowthe configured threshold. To address this problem, we applied a random forest algorithm to develop a prediction...
