Both theory and applications are discussed. • New theory is presented, particularly in the area of diagnostic decision-making taking account of predictive values, via developments of the predictive receiver operating characteristic curve. • New applications of information theory to the analysis of observational studies of disease dynamics in both human and plant populations are presented.Biology, life sciencesbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscAsiatic citrus cankerAtangana-Baleanu derivativeaverage mutual informationbalanceBayes' rulebinormalCaputo derivativeCaputo-Fabrizio derivativedeploymentdeterministic dynamicsdiagnostic informationdiagnostic testdirect assayearly detectionEbola modelempiricalentropyepidemic modelevaluationexpected mutual informationfield diagnosticFisher scoring algorithmforecastHIV/AIDS epidemicinformation theoryJensen-Shannon divergencelatent classleaf plotlikelihood ratiomultiple diagnostic testsmutual informationn/anegative predictive valueNewton-Raphson procedurenumerical resultsobservational studypositive predictive valuepredictive ROC curveprevalenceprobabilityPROC curvePV-ROC curveregression modelrelative entropyROC curvescent signatureselection biassensitivityShannon entropyspecificitySS-ROC curveSS/PV-ROC plotstochastic processestime seriestransient behaviorurinary bladder cancervaccination and treatment intervention controlsBiology, life sciencesResearch & information: generalHughes Garethedt1299456Hughes GarethothBOOK9910557759303321Applications of Information Theory to Epidemiology3025186UNINA
