Monitoring the health of populations by tracking disease outbreaks : saving humanity from the next plague

Rigdon, Steven E., 1955- author, Fricker, Ronald D., Jr., 1960- author

Overview

\"Today the citizens of developed counties have never experienced a large-scale disease outbreak. One reason is the success of the public health community, including epidemiologists and biostatisticians, in tracking and identifying disease outbreaks. Monitoring the Health of Populations by Tracking Disease Outbreaks: Saving Humanity from the Next Plague is the story of the application of statistics for disease detection and tracking. The work of public health officials often critically depends on the use of statistical methods to help discern whether an outbreak may be occurring and, if there is sufficient evidence of an outbreak, then to locate and track it\"-- Provided by publisher.
