Detection of Infectious Disease Outbreaks From Laboratory Data With Reporting Delays
利用存在报告延迟的实验室数据检测传染病暴发
Many statistical surveillance systems for the timely detection of outbreaks of infectious disease operate on laboratory data. Such data typically incur reporting delays between the time at which a specimen is collected for diagnostic purposes, and the time at which the results of the laboratory analysis become available. Statistical surveillance systems currently in use usually make some ad hoc adjustment for such delays, or use counts by time of report. We propose a new…
