Matlab Code for Biosurveillance

These Matlab modules below contain procedures for plotting control charts of different types, including ones that are based on wavelets. The functions are designed to be independent of specialized Matlab toolboxes. The code is distributed under the GNU General Public License. Note that you can use it (or change it according to the license), but I carry no responsibility to its accuracy and use.

Biosurveillance

Early detection of disease outbreaks has been the focus of recent national efforts. I am currently working on exploring and evaluating univariate and multivariate monitoring methods that can be used to track multiple traditional and non-traditional time series for detecting an outbreak.

Statistics Week @ ASU
