A space-time conditional intensity model for invasive meningococcal disease occurrence [PDF]
Biometrics 68, 607--616, 2015 A novel point process model continuous in space-time is proposed for quantifying the transmission dynamics of the two most common meningococcal antigenic sequence types observed in Germany 2002-2008. Modelling is based on the conditional intensity function (CIF) which is described by a superposition of additive and multiplicative components.

Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Epidemic Phenomena Using the R Package surveillance [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Software (2017); 77 (11): 1-55, 2014 The availability of geocoded health data and the inherent temporal structure of communicable diseases have led to an increased interest in statistical models and software for spatio-temporal data with epidemic features. The open source R package surveillance can handle various levels of aggregation at which infective events have been recorded ...
