A novel algorithm automatically detects changes in mortality rates using robust statistical methods. This approach was validated using infant mortality data from Serbia, showing its practical application.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Public Health
  • Time Series Analysis

Background:

  • Mortality rate analysis is crucial for public health surveillance.
  • Detecting changes in mortality trends often requires sophisticated statistical methods.
  • Existing methods may lack robustness or automated detection capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a new robust modified generalized likelihood ratio algorithm.
  • To enable automatic detection of changes in mortality rates.
  • To demonstrate the algorithm's feasibility using real-world data.

Main Methods:

  • Application of a robust modified generalized likelihood ratio algorithm.
  • Calculation of a discrimination function.
  • Utilizing robust least squares estimates of autoregressive (AR) mortality rate residuals.

Main Results:

  • The algorithm successfully detected changes in mortality rates.
  • The approach demonstrated feasibility with experimental data.
  • Analysis focused on infant mortality rates in Serbia.

Conclusions:

  • The robust modified generalized likelihood ratio algorithm provides an effective tool for automatic mortality rate change detection.
  • The method is robust and applicable to real-world public health data.
  • Infant mortality rate analysis in Serbia serves as a successful case study.
