Snippet: The current shortcoming of the method is that it was only applied to pyrexia data but no other syndromes. It is to be expected that the combination of pyrexia with diarrhoea would have allowed to immediately distinguish between the peak potentially caused by seasonal influenza and the event caused by E. coli. Therefore, as a continuation of this study, different symptoms will be combined to allow the monitoring of several syndromes in parallel. A.....
Document: The current shortcoming of the method is that it was only applied to pyrexia data but no other syndromes. It is to be expected that the combination of pyrexia with diarrhoea would have allowed to immediately distinguish between the peak potentially caused by seasonal influenza and the event caused by E. coli. Therefore, as a continuation of this study, different symptoms will be combined to allow the monitoring of several syndromes in parallel. Although the proposed method does not rely on a threshold to detect an increase in cases, it still requires the user to define the value of d, which will normally require some knowledge about the transmission rate of the monitored infection.
