Multivariate control charts for monitoring a bivariate correlated count process with application to meningococcal
Abstract:
In recent years, with the increasing number and complexity of infectious diseases, the idea of using control charts to monitor public health and disease has been proposed. In this paper, we study multivariate control charts for monitoring a bivariate integer-valued autocorrelation process with bivariate Poisson distribution and select the optimal control scheme by comparing the performance of control charts. Furthermore, the meningococcal patient event in two states in Australia serves as an example to illustrate the application of these methods. The results show that the D exponentially weighted moving average control scheme can detect the changes in the mean value faster, which is a significant advantage.
