A Hypothesis Test for the End of a Common Source Outbreak

Brookmeyer, Ron; You, Xiaojun - Berkeley Electronic Press - 2004

The objective of this paper is to develop a hypothesis testing procedure to determine whether a common source outbreak has ended. We do not assume that the calendar date of exposure to the pathogen is known. We assume an underlying parametric model for the incubation period distribution of a...

Multiple Testing and Data Adaptive Regression: An Application to HIV-1 Sequence Data

Birkner, Merrill; Sinisi, Sandra; Laan, Mark van der - Berkeley Electronic Press - 2004

Analysis of viral strand sequence data and viral replication capacity could potentially lead to biological insights regarding the replication ability of HIV-1. Determining specific target codons on the viral strand will facilitate the manufacturing of target specific antiretrovirals. Various...
