Spatio-Temporal Disease Surveillance
There are two principal impediments in statistical process control methods for the detection of bio-terrorism events: firstly, these methods aggregate over space by examining total counts and thus ignore the spatial dimension of the task and secondly they fail to adjust for the usual (seasonal) behaviour of diseases (e.g., Steiner et al., 2011 where the focus is early detection of the start of ...
متن کاملSparse Approximate Inference for Spatio-Temporal Point Process Models
Spatio-temporal point process models play a central role in the analysis of spatially distributed systems in several disciplines. Yet, scalable inference remains computationally challenging both due to the high resolution modelling generally required and the analytically intractable likelihood function. Here, we exploit the sparsity structure typical of (spatially) discretised log-Gaussian Cox ...
متن کاملSpatio-Temporal Infectious Disease Epidemiology based on Point Processes
In this Master’s Thesis, a novel combination of point process models continuous in space-time is proposed for infectious disease data. Modelling is driven by the conditional intensity function, which enables a step towards a regression framework for self-exciting spatio-temporal point processes. The model is an extension of the discrete space additive-multiplicative conditional intensity model ...
متن کاملFunctional Principal Component Analysis of Spatio-Temporal Point Processes with Applications in Disease Surveillance.
In disease surveillance applications, the disease events are modeled by spatio-temporal point processes. We propose a new class of semiparametric generalized linear mixed model for such data, where the event rate is related to some known risk factors and some unknown latent random effects. We model the latent spatio-temporal process as spatially correlated functional data, and propose Poisson m...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal Background Models for Outdoor Surveillance
Video surveillance in outdoor areas is hampered by consistent background motion which defeats systems that use motion to identify intruders. While algorithms exist for masking out regions with motion, a better approach is to develop a statistical model of the typical dynamic video appearance. This allows the detection of potential intruders even in front of trees and grass waving in the wind, w...
