The animal health components of a biosurveillance system
Biosurveillance defines a One Health approach of gathering, integrating, interpreting, and communicating information related to health hazards or diseases affecting human, animal, or plant health and their environment to achieve early detection and warning, situational awareness, and better …

On Development and Performance Evaluation of Some Biosurveillance Methods
… of shifts in the mean of Poisson distributed biosurveillance data. The application of a sign function on the original GLR chart statistics leads to downward-sided, upward-sided, and two-sided GLR chart statistics in an unified framework. To facilitate the use of such charts in practice, we …

Modeling social response to the spread of an infectious disease
… a disease. Specifically, we apply real world biosurveillance data on over 11,000 initial events to: 1) describe how negative social response spreads within an outbreak, and 2) analytically predict negative social response to an outbreak. In the first approach, we developed a meta-model that …

Adaptive Threshold Method for Monitoring Rates in Public Health Surveillance
We examine some of the methodologies implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) BioSense program. The program uses data from hospitals and public health departments to detect outbreaks using the Early Aberration Reporting System (EARS). The EARS method W2 allows one to …
