Incorporating social contact data in spatio-temporal models for infectious disease spread
Routine public health surveillance of notifiable infectious diseases gives rise to weekly counts of reported cases-possibly stratified by region and/or age group. We investigate how an age-structured social contact matrix can be incorporated into a spatio-temporal endemic-epidemic model for infectious disease counts. To illustrate the approach, we analyze the spread of norovirus gastroenteritis...
متن کاملBayesian Nonparametric Spatio-Temporal Models for Disease Incidence Data
Typically, disease incidence or mortality data are available as rates or counts for specified regions, collected over time. We propose Bayesian nonparametric spatial modeling approaches to analyze such data. We develop a hierarchical specification using spatial random effects modeled with a Dirichlet process prior. The Dirichlet process is centered around a multivariate normal distribution. Thi...
متن کاملDynamic Models for Spatio-Temporal Data
We propose a model for nonstationary spatio-temporal data. To account for spatial variability, we model the mean function at each time period as a locally-weighted mixture of linear regressions. To incorporate temporal variation, we allow the regression coefficients to change through time. Krigingbased variogram models can also be also incorporated when the process is highly localized in space....
متن کاملAssessing the impact of network data on the spatio-temporal spread of infectious diseases
Networks of moving individuals like traded animals between farms represent a potential risk for the spatio-temporal spread of an infectious disease. To assess this relationship we propose two frameworks, namely parameterand observation-driven models. We discuss both approaches in the context of uniand multivariate time series of counts with specific emphasis on the direct inclusion of network d...
متن کاملNetwork based models of infectious disease spread.
It has recently become possible to simulate directly dynamics on very large networks. This paper describes a model of epidemiology on a social network, the Epidemiological Simulation System (EpiSims), and offers general speculation on analyzing disease dynamics on networks. We describe the process of building a realistic social network, describe several different definitions of the network, eac...
