Estimating vaccine coverage by using computer algebra.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The approach of N Gay for estimating the coverage of a multivalent vaccine from antibody prevalence data in certain age cohorts is complemented by using computer aided elimination theory of variables. Hereby, Gay's usage of numerical approximation can be replaced by exact formulae which are surprisingly nice, too.

متن کاملEstimating rotavirus vaccine effectiveness in Japan using a screening method
Rotavirus gastroenteritis is a highly contagious, acute viral disease that imposes a significant health burden worldwide. In Japan, rotavirus vaccines have been commercially available since 2011 for voluntary vaccination, but vaccine coverage and effectiveness have not been evaluated. In the absence of a vaccination registry in Japan, vaccination coverage in the general population was estimated...
متن کاملUnauthenticated event detection in wireless sensor networks using sensors co-coverage
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offer inherent packet redundancy since each point within the network area is covered by more than one sensor node. This phenomenon, which is known as sensors co-coverage, is used in this paper to detect unauthenticated events. Unauthenticated event broadcasting in a WSN imposes network congestion, worsens the packet loss rate, and increases the network energy con...
