The next step after identifying and gathering symptoms on the persons with the disease is to systematically describe some of the key characteristics. This process, in which the outbreak is characterized by time, place, and person, is called descriptive epidemiology.
First, let's study the time pattern of epidemic outbreak. In order to find out the time when epidemic started and outbroke, key symptom terms are used as an indicator of patient. The formula below is used to extract key works from each message.
13 key terms are selected and labeled as 0 or 1 in separate columns.
Symptoms are further categorized into two types using tableau calculation.
These two variables will be used as indicator of whether this person has inhalation symptom or gastrointestinal symptom or healthy condition.
