Unfortunately, these disease time-series often i) suffer from non-stationarity; ii) exhibit large inter-annual plus seasonal fluctuations; and, iii) require disease-specific tailoring of forecasting methods.
In the context of forecasts, epidemiological time-series (TS) often i) exhibit inter-annual plus seasonal fluctuations; ii) require disease-specific tailoring of forecasting methods; and, iii) suffer from non-stationarity.
It produces forecasts for very distinct diseases (diarrhea, acute respiratory infection, and malaria) without disease-specific tailoring of forecasting method, adapting on-line to underlying disease TS perturbations.
To achieve them, a tailor-made combination of methods was applied.
Hawkins et al. refer tailoring to a number of methods for creating individualized communications that will lead to larger intended effects of these communications [ 21].
However, identifying specific situations in which trained physicians have more difficulty determining a common cause of death will allow for the tailoring of the VA method to function better in these conditions.
Despite distinct climate-mediated disease TS fluctuations in the district of Niono, the MHW method forecasts non-stationary diarrhea, ARI, and malaria consultation rate TS (Figs. 3 5) with reasonable accuracy (Table 3) and without disease-specific tailoring of the forecasting method.
They are designed for autonomous separable systems, and a substantial number of methods tailored for different structures of the equations have recently appeared.
A triangulation of methods tailor-made for every specific stakeholder group allows the gradual deepening and broadening of participation in problem definition, knowledge generation, development of applicable solutions and implementation.
Furthermore, there are very few computational methods available to distinguish true viral variants from erroneous mutations, with the majority of methods tailored to the 454 platform such as AmpliconNoise [ 29] and ReadClean454 [ 30].
