Category-Specific Comparison of Univariate Alerting Methods for Biosurveillance Decision Support
Introduction Temporal alerting algorithms commonly used in syndromic surveillance systems are often adjusted for data features such as cyclic behavior but are subject to overfitting or misspecification errors when applied indiscriminately. In a project for the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center to enable multivariate decision support, we obtained 4.5 years of outpatient, prescription and l...
متن کاملDevelopment, Adaptation, and Assessment of Alerting Algorithms for Biosurveillance
he goal of APL’s biosurveillance effort is to assist the public health community in the early recognition of disease outbreaks. ESSENCE II, the Electronic Surveillance System for the Early Notifi cation of Community-based Epidemics, applies alerting algorithms to “anonymized” consumer data to give epidemiologists early cues to potential health threats in the National Capital Area.

متن کاملInfrastructure and Methods to Support Real Time Biosurveillance
Over the past two years, disaster preparedness has become an area of intense national focus. The threat of disease outbreaks, from naturally occurring pathogens or those maliciously introduced, has provoked a major response from the biomedical, public health, defense, and intelligence communities. A new information infrastructure and methods to support real time detection and monitoring of dise...
متن کاملComparison of Decision-Making Methods Comparison of Decision-Making Methods
A comparison is made between the most commonly used decision-making method (AHP), and two methods developed by the authors (APM and CSM). It is shown that the newly developed methods do not change the correlations and types of inequalities between the global priorities of the alternatives when the number of alternatives changes. This differentiates them from the AHP, which does change them. Als...
متن کاملon the comparison of keyword and semantic-context methods of learning new vocabulary meaning
the rationale behind the present study is that particular learning strategies produce more effective results when applied together. the present study tried to investigate the efficiency of the semantic-context strategy alone with a technique called, keyword method. to clarify the point, the current study seeked to find answer to the following question: are the keyword and semantic-context metho...
