Leptospiroris, the infectious disease caused by the spirochete bacteria Leptospira interrogans, constitutes an important public health problem all over the world. In Argentina, some regions present climate and geographic characteristics that favors the habitat of the bacteria Leptospira, whose survival strongly depends on climatic factors.For this reason, regional public health systems should include, as a main factor, the incidence of the disease in order to improve the prediction of potential outbreaks, helping to stop or delay the virus transmission. The classic methods used to perform this kind of predictions are based in autoregressive time series tools which, as it is well known, perform poorly when the data do not meet their requirements. Recently, several nonparametric methods have been introduced to deal with those problems. In
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
