Disease management with ARIMA model in time series
1Universidade Federal de São Paulo, São José dos Campos, SP, Brasil.
Time series analysis, specifically the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model, aids in evaluating infectious and noninfectious disease management. This method helps measure intervention effects and prevent disease spread in populations.
Area of Science:
- Epidemiology
- Biostatistics
- Health Services Research
Background:
- Effective management of infectious and noninfectious diseases requires robust evaluation methods.
- Traditional evaluation techniques may not fully capture dynamic disease trends or intervention impacts.
- Time series analysis offers a powerful framework for analyzing health data over time.
Purpose of the Study:
- To demonstrate the utility of time series analysis for evaluating disease management strategies.
- To highlight the application of the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model in public health research.
- To assess the impact of interventions on disease patterns within specific populations.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing time series analysis techniques.
- Applying the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model for data analysis.
- Evaluating the effectiveness of healthcare interventions through statistical modeling.
Main Results:
- Time series analysis provides a quantitative approach to measure intervention effects.
- The ARIMA model is applicable to diverse clinical and public health datasets.
- This analytical tool can identify trends and predict disease progression.
Conclusions:
- Time series analysis, particularly ARIMA, is a valuable tool for researchers and healthcare managers.
- It enables the evaluation of healthcare interventions in specific populations.
- This approach contributes to improved disease management and public health outcomes.
