Introduction
• Biological and ecological processes are often organized and correlated in both space and time.
• Why use space-time data and space-time analyses?
• Various space-time models– STKF, KKF, VARMA, STARMA, etc.
• Why STARMA models?
• Is emerging infectious diseases the only application?

Space-Time Variables Evolving over Time
• zt,x : some ecological variable at spatial coordinates vector x at time t. zx forms a time series for location x.
• These time series are not independent, but influence each other via spatial proximity.

General STARMA Models
• The general STARMA model has the stochastic equation:
• Model types:– STAR model (when k,b=0)
– STMA model (when k,b=0)
– Mixed model (when k,b 0 and k,b 0).
|----- AR terms -----| |----- MA terms -----|The strengths of the autoregressive components is measured by k,b and the strengths of shared moving average stochastic inputs are k,b.

A Useful Form for STARMA Modeling
• By introducing the spatial weight matrices W(l), we can express the general STARMA model as the following form:
• This is the equation actually used for the implementation of IEAST and applications.
where l : spatial lag, k : temporal lag;zt is the observation vector at time t;W(l) is the weight matrix for l-th order;kl are the parameters of autoregressive terms;kl are the parameters of moving average terms;et is the random noise vector at time t.

Spatial Correlation Structure and Weight Matrices
• Spatial weight matrices are used to construct the spatial correlation structure among locations.
• The following ordering is an example of the definition of spatial correlation structure (up to 4th order neighbors) in 2D system.
1st order, W(1) 3rd order, W(3)2nd order, W(2) 4th order, W(4)

Some Limitations of STARMA Modeling
• Raster based• Requires massive amount of space-time data• Models generally may not be fully mechanistic
Assumptions:• Stationarity• “Spatial Regularity”• Effects are “constant”• Effects are “linearly” correlated

Model Identification
To determine the model type and orders.
• Conventionally, space-time autocorrelations (i.e. STACF/STPACF) are used (Pfeifer and Deutsch, 1980).
• In this research, space-time extensions of model fitness measures (i.e. AIC, BIC) are used to assist identification when the method above does not work. These measures are more objective and computationally efficient.

Parameter Estimation
To calculate coefficients of a candidate model for given model type and orders.
• Two methods needed for two kinds of models:– Linear models (i.e. STAR) : Linear ML estimator.– Non-linear models (i.e. STMA and Mixed) : Multi-variate nonlinear
optimization.
• The multi-variate and non-linear nature raises problems while in optimization :– Converge to local optima– Very time-consuming
• A good starting point is crucial for optimization– Extra step ‘Pre-estimation’– Space-time extended Hannan-Rissanen Algorithm is used.

Diagnostic Check
• To decide the adequacy of a candidate model for representing the given data.
• Methods:– Variance of residuals– Space-time autocorrelations of residuals– Significance testing of parameters– Space-time extension of AIC/BIC

State of Art for Statistical Analyses of Emerging Infectious Diseases
As far as we know, no true spatial-temporal statistical models and methods have been used.
• Space-time cluster analysis available (Theophilides et al, 2003; Mostashari et al, 2003; Hoebe et al, 2004)
• Spatial models available (Watson et al, 2004).• Temporal models available.

Limitations of Simply Observing How a Spatial Distribution Changes over Time
• For example, expansion of the leading edge of a disease range.
• Is the disease spreading directly over long distances but infrequently, or over short distances frequently?
• This is important for projecting the future spread.

STARMA Has Potential for the Early Characterization of Infectious Diseases.
• STARMA acts as a “prism”. Can filter the spatial-temporal correlations into direct effects with known magnitude and spatial and temporal lags.
• Not generally a complete, mechanistic model, but puts critical constraints on models.

West Nile Virus
The West Nile Virus (WNV) was first detected in a woman with a mild fever in the West Nile District of Uganda in 1937. Since then WNV has been spreading to North Africa, Europe, West and Central Asia, and the Middle East.
![Page 30: Space-Time Modeling and Application to Emerging Infectious Diseases](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814903550346895db638fd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

West Nile Virus in the United States
• Outbreak in NYC in Sep 1999. Vector is Culex mosquitoes.• Wild birds (89% are American crows) are the principal
hosts. Humans, horses, etc. are incidental hosts.• The incidence rate among crows is high. Infected crow
almost always die (68%).
• Surveillance of Dead crows has been used as an indicator of WNV epidemic.

• DCD were collected systematically before and during an outbreak among humans. Data mainly consisted of locations and dates of reported public sightings.
• HCD were obtained from clinicians in Michigan. Data on address of residence and date of onset of disease were obtained from the case-patient or attending physician through telephone interviews.

Interpretations for the DCD Analysis
• STAR(3,4) model is the best-fitted one. • The max. of spatial and temporal lags that are important
are still smaller. S=2 (or 6.4 km) and T=2 weeks.• Compare S=1 to S=2. Value for S=1 is much larger—cell
boundary length effects.• The virus is not spreading very far very fast. Crows are not
much spreading the virus spatially, though they probably are amplifying it locally.
• Negative Autoregressive Effect At S=1, and T=2,3.

sssssts– Appears to be a real effect.– May be due to crow population depletion.– Suggests there is a mixture of two STAR
processes, the dominant one reflecting probability of infection, the other an echo effect from depletion.

Additional Analyses and Results
Additional Analyses:• Using 20x20 and other cell configurations• Using different lag structures “Pfeiffer’s” vs. “Ring structure”• Using various polynomials for Spatial de-trending• Using sub-sample of the data
Results:• Consistent over various methods of spatial de-trending, except
high order polynomials resulted in smaller AR.• Consistent AR values using different lag structures and cell sizes.• Consistent implied spatial and temporal scales over which there
are significant or substantial AR effects

Interpretations for the HCD Analysis
• Most people are getting infected at or near their homes.• The incidences are highly autocorrelated in space and time.• The distribution or probability of infection is highly “localized”.• The WNV “load” and probability of human infection is “spreading”
slowly, in the sense of not spreading very far very fast.• Suggests localized spraying could reduce cases. • Without depletion effect, the human case data show positive and
significant above zero for T-lag=2 and S-lag>=1, esp. at S-lag=1.

Interpretations for Space-Time Cross Correlations
• Drop smoothly to zero spatially and temporally.• Very large (as high as 0.7).• Across all spatial lags, the max. cross correlations are aligned at –3
weeks. • The cross correlations at spatial lag 1 is slightly greater than at
spatial lag 0. • When temporal lag decreases to –8 or below, the correlations
between these two datasets are negligible (<0.1).• When spatial lag increases up to 10, the cross correlations are
reduced to as low as 0.2.

Is the Cross Correlations Spurious?
• The result shows that the ‘real’ cross correlations are much larger than the ‘spurious’ components.
The autocorrelation of the DCD can spuriously contribute to cross correlations. To eliminate this effect, both datasets were pre-whitened before calculating cross correlations.

Summary for Modeling the Spread of WNV
• Crows are not spreading the disease spatially very far very fast.
• Spread is very localized, perhaps other animals or the mosquitoes themselves are spreading it spatially.
• Humans are being infected largely at or near their homes.• Both crows and humans appear to be responding to local
viral loads.• Dead crow findings precede human cases by two to three
weeks. Dead crows can be a good indicator of human epidemics.

Conclusion
• It appears that STARMA modeling could be an important tool of the early characterization of many emerging and re-emerging infectious disease epidemics.
• During the course of an epidemic, it could be used (in principle) for forecasting, under existing conditions or under potential courses of action.
• While not generally a mechanistic model, STARMA does inform spatial and temporal scales of spread, hence places constraints on mechanistic models (which otherwise may have too many parameters).
