Probabilistic, Decision-theoretic Disease Surveillance and Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Pittsburgh Center of Excellence in Public Health Informatics has developed a probabilistic, decision-theoretic system for disease surveillance and control for use in Allegheny County, PA and later in Tarrant County, TX. This paper describes the software components of the system and its knowledge bases. The paper uses influenza surveillance to illustrate how the software components transform data collected by the healthcare system into population level analyses and decision analyses of potential outbreak-control measures.

Decision-theoretic approach to maximizing observation of multiple targets in multi-camera surveillance
This paper presents a novel decision-theoretic approach to control and coordinate multiple active cameras for observing a number of moving targets in a surveillance system. This approach offers the advantages of being able to (a) account for the stochasticity of targets’ motion via probabilistic modeling, and (b) address the tradeoff between maximizing the expected number of observed targets an...
متن کاملMulti-granulation fuzzy probabilistic rough sets and their corresponding three-way decisions over two universes
This article introduces a general framework of multi-granulation fuzzy probabilistic roughsets (MG-FPRSs) models in multi-granulation fuzzy probabilistic approximation space over twouniverses. Four types of MG-FPRSs are established, by the four different conditional probabilitiesof fuzzy event. For different constraints on parameters, we obtain four kinds of each type MG-FPRSs...
متن کاملDecision-Theoretic Approach for Controlling and Coordinating multiple Active Cameras in Surveillance
This research presents a novel decision-theoretic approach to control and coordinate multiple active (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras to achieve high-quality surveillance. The decision-theoretic approaches provide robust mathematical frameworks that can model the interactions between the active camera network and the surveillance environment. It offers advantage of planning optimal control decisions for...
متن کاملStructure, Characteristics and Components of COVID-19 Surveillance System
Background and Aim: Surveillance has defined the systematic collection, continuous, analysis and interpretation of health-related information required for the planning, implementation, and assessment of public health performance. This study was aimed to determine the standard structure and components of COVID-19 surveillance and comparison with the Iranian present surveillance system to identif...
متن کاملDecision-Theoretic Reasoning for Traffic Monitoring and Vehicle Control - Intelligent Vehicles '95 Symposium., Proceedings of the
We describe technology for robust traffic monitoring and automated vehicle control using decision-theoretic and probabilistic reasoning methods. In this work, we have designed and implemented probabilistic models for deriving highlevel descriptions of traffic conditions, as well as the maneuvers and intentions of individual vehicles, from visual observation of a traffic scene. Enhancements to s...
