Some Methodological Issues in Biosurveillance
Abstract
This paper briefly summarizes a short course I gave at the 12th Biennial Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) Symposium held in Decatur, Georgia on April 6, 2009. The
goal of this short course was to discuss various methodological issues of biosurveillance detection algorithms, with a focus on the
issues related to developing, evaluating, and implementing such algorithms.
