متن کاملWavelet-Based Monitoring for Biosurveillance
Biosurveillance, focused on the early detection of disease outbreaks, relies on classical statistical control charts for detecting disease outbreaks. However, such methods are not always suitable in this context. Assumptions of normality, independence and stationarity are typically violated in syndromic data. Furthermore, outbreak signatures are typically of unknown patterns and, therefore, cal...
متن کاملNatural Language Processing for Biosurveillance
Data useful for biosurveillance are often only available in a free-text format that can be easily read and understood by a human but not by a computer. Natural language processing (NLP) refers to automated methods for converting free-text data into computer-understandable format (Allen, 1995). This conversion is necessary so that information stored in free-text format can contribute to detectio...
متن کاملBiosurveillance and Outbreak Detection
Faced with the very real threat of bioterrorism, the critical need for early detection of an outbreak has shortened the time frame for major enhancements to our public health infrastructure. The early detection of covert biological attacks requires real time data streams revealing of the health of the population, as well as novel methods to detect abnormalities.
