Timely detection of Pertussis outbreaks in Iran: The comparison performance of Wavelet-based outbreak detector, Exponential weighted moving average, and Poisson regression-based methods
Abstract:Background Early detection of outbreaks is very important for surveillance systems. Due to the importance of the subject and lack of similar studies in Iran, the aim of this study was to determine the performance of the Wavelet-Based Outbreak detection method)WOD(in detecting outbreaks and to compare its performance with Poisson regression-based model and Exponential weighted moving average (EWMA) using data of simulated pertussis outbreaks in Iran. Methods The data on suspected cases of pertussis from 25th Fe… Show more
