Bias reduction for risk ratio and vaccine effect estimators
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2001-06-15)
We examine the structural bias for established estimators of vaccine effects on susceptibility and for newer estimates of vaccine effects on infectiousness. We then propose and analyse new bias corrections for vaccine ...

To characterize Michigan’s high viral meningitis incidence rates, 8,803 cases from 1993–2001 were analyzed for standard epidemiological indices, geographic distribution, and spatio-temporal clusters. Blacks and infants ...
Emerging and vector-borne diseases: Role of high spatial resolution and hyperspectral images in analyses and forecasts
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2002-03)
Many infectious diseases that are emerging or transmitted by arthropod vectors have a strong link to landscape features. Depending on the source of infection or ecology of the transmitting vector, micro-habitat characteristics ...
