Reporting causes of death accurately is essential to public health and hospital-based programs; however, some U.S. studies have identified substantial inaccuracies in cause reporting. Using CDC's national inpatient hospital rates as a benchmark, the Missouri Department Health Senior Services (DHSS) analyzed reported by hospitals with high St. Louis Kansas City metro areas. Among selected rates, 45.8% certificates indicated an underlying that was inconsistent Guidelines for Death Certificate...
Statistical challenges in monitoring modern biosurveillance data are well described the literature. Even though assumptions of normality, independence, and stationarity typically violated data, statistical process control (SPC) charts adopted from industry have been widely used public health for communicable disease monitoring. But, blind usage SPC that ignores characteristics surveillance may result poor detection outbreaks and/or excessive false-positive alarms. Thus, improved systems...
Structure of a complex network provides important information about its performance and may be used to predict changes in performance. Degree distributions are model the structure. Four degree distributions, including power law, Weibull, Poisson, negative binomial, applied this research three networks, Krebs, HIV, Power Grid networks. To improveaccuracy modeling, maximum likelihood estimation method expectation-maximization algorithm estimate parameters four distributions. Several...
Regression analysis is used to fit a periodic model weekly disease counts for reportable diseases in Missouri. These trigonometric models are then obtain upper control limits the number of cases that would lead an outbreak signal. The methods, including graphics, implemented open source statistical package R.
