A robust parameter estimation method for estimating disease burden of respiratory viruses.

A robust parameter estimation method for estimating disease burden of respiratory viruses.

BACKGROUND: Poisson model has been widely applied to estimate the disease burden of influenza, but there has been little success in providing reliable estimates for other respiratory viruses. METHODS: We compared the estimates of excess hospitalization rates derived from the Poisson models with diff...
