Trigonometric Regression for Analysis of Public Health Surveillance Data by Steven E. Rigdon, George Turabelidze, Ehsan Jahanpour

“…The seasonality is modeled by a trigonometric function whose parameters can be estimated by some baseline set of data. We study the ability of such a model to detect an outbreak. Specifically, we estimate the probability of detection (POD), the average number of weeks to signal given that a signal has occurred (conditional expected delay, or CED), and the false-positive rate (FPR, the average number of false-alarms per year).…”
