The Improving Methods for Prediction of Epidemic Transmission Using Spatial Surveillance (impetus) study

Surveillance data from large and small spatial scales play an essential role in public health and scientific research, but these data are subject to missing observations, delays in reporting, and observation biases. The Improving Methods for Prediction of Epidemic Transmission Using Spatial Surveillance (impetus) study aims to develop and extend statistical and modeling methodologies to correct for biases in surveillance data, impute missing data, predict the course of epidemics, and appropriately characterize the uncertainty in estimates and predictions at relevant spatial scales.
