Inferring Epidemic Network Topology from Surveillance Data
The transmission of infectious diseases can be affected by many or even hidden factors, making it difficult to accurately predict when and where outbreaks may emerge. One approach at the moment is to develop and deploy surveillance systems in an effort to detect outbreaks as timely as possible. This enables policy makers to modify and implement strategies for the control of the transmission. Th...
متن کاملInferring population-level contact heterogeneity from common epidemic data
Models of infectious disease spread that incorporate contact heterogeneity through contact networks are an important tool for epidemiologists studying disease dynamics and assessing intervention strategies. One of the challenges of contact network epidemiology has been the difficulty of collecting individual and population-level data needed to develop an accurate representation of the underlyin...
متن کاملInferring network topology via the propagation process
Inferring the network topology from the dynamics is a fundamental problem, with wide applications in geology, biology, and even counter-terrorism. Based on the propagation process, we present a simple method to uncover the network topology. A numerical simulation on artificial networks shows that our method enjoys a high accuracy in inferring the network topology. We find that the infection rat...
متن کاملInferring Plasmodium vivax Transmission Networks from Tempo-Spatial Surveillance Data
BACKGROUND The transmission networks of Plasmodium vivax characterize how the parasite transmits from one location to another, which are informative and insightful for public health policy makers to accurately predict the patterns of its geographical spread. However, such networks are not apparent from surveillance data because P. vivax transmission can be affected by many factors, such as the ...
متن کاملLearning Network Topology from Simple Sensor Data
In this paper, we present an approach for recovering a topological map of the environment using only detection events from a deployed sensor network. Unlike other solutions to this problem, our technique operates on timestamp free observational data; i.e. no timing information is exploited by our algorithm except the ordering. We first give a theoretical analysis of this version of the problem,...
