Monitoring epidemiologic surveillance data using hidden Markov models
Statistics in Medicine, 1999The analysis of routinely collected surveillance data is an important challenge in public health practice. We present a method based on a hidden Markov model for monitoring such time series. The model characterizes the sequence of measurements by assuming that its probability density function depends on the state of an underlying Markov chain.

Contributions of Epidemiology to Quality Assessment and Monitoring
Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 1990The contribution of epidemiology to quality assessment and monitoring: a clear enough subject.

And the meaning of epidemiology was the deepest mystery of all. I must begin by defining my

Personal exposure monitoring in environmental epidemiology
2001AbstractThe exposure to any pollutant is determined by the concentration of the pollutant in the environment, its specific character, and the duration and frequency of contact. Estimates of these characteristics can be obtained instrumentally (i.e., using a monitoring device), via questionnaires, through direct observation, or through the use of ...
