How do you test for high/low behaviour in a time series?

I have a series of increases in death arising from a suspected series of outbreaks of an unknown agent. The suspicion is that the agent is relatively difficult to transmit and relies heavily on...

Can anyone manipulate the parameters in infectious transmission models to see if they can replicate this unknown outbreak?

I have documented small area spread of a new type of infectious agent across Berkshire in the UK. The agent seems to be relatively difficult to transmit but has quite dramatic impact on medical...

Michael G Head

Are you essentially looking for modellers/epidemiologists? Might be able to help. I run the Infectious Disease Research Network in the UK, www.idrn.org , got a big mailing list of 2800 people. Can send an email out to them with a paragraph or two of blurb and ask if anyone fancies getting involved, to contact you etc etc.

Send me a message, or email [email protected] if interested

Rodney P Jones

Thanks Michael. Have sent an email containing some more detail. Your kind offer is very much appreciated. Rod
