Area Disease Estimation Based on Sentinel Hospital Records
BACKGROUND Population health attributes (such as disease incidence and prevalence) are often estimated using sentinel hospital records, which are subject to multiple sources of uncertainty. When applied to these health attributes, commonly used biased estimation techniques can lead to false conclusions and ineffective disease intervention and control. Although some estimators can account for me...
متن کاملEstimation for generalized half logistic distribution based on records
In this paper, we derive maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) and approximate MLEs (AMLEs) of the unknown parameters in a generalized half logistic distribution when the data are upper record values. As an illustration, we examine the validity of our estimation using real data and simulated data. Finally, we compare the proposed estimators in the sense of the mean squared error (MSE) through a ...
متن کاملMulti-Area State Estimation Based on PMU Measurements in Distribution Networks
State estimation in the energy management center of active distribution networks has attracted many attentions. Considering an increase in complexity and real-time management of active distribution networks and knowing the network information at each time instant are necessary. This article presents a two-step multi-area state estimation method in balanced active distribution networks. The prop...
متن کاملClinic- and hospital-based sentinel influenza surveillance, Uganda 2007-2010.
BACKGROUND To assess the epidemiology and seasonality of influenza in Uganda, we established a sentinel surveillance system for influenza in 5 hospitals and 5 outpatient clinics in 4 geographically distinct regions, using standard case definitions for influenzalike illness (ILI) and severe acute respiratory illness (SARI). METHODS Nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal specimens were collected from...
متن کاملSimple approaches to disease classification based on clinical patient records
In this study we describe the system submitted by the team of University of Szeged to the Second I2B2 Challenge in Natural Language Processing for Clinical Data. The challenge focused on the development of automatic systems that addresseded the following question: Who’s obese and what co-morbidities do they (definitely / most likely) have? using clinical documents. Target diseases included obes...
