    Abstract

    Health surveillance is the process of ongoing systematic collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of health data for the purpose of preventing and controlling disease, injury, and other health problems. Health surveillance data is often recorded continuously over a selected time interval or intermittently at several discrete time points. These can often be treated as functional data, and hence functional data analysis (FDA) can be applied to model and analyze these type of health data. One objective in health surveillance is early event detection. Statistical process monitoring tools are often used for online event detecting. In this paper, we explore the usefulness of FDA for prospective health surveillance and propose two strategies for monitoring using control charts. We apply these strategies to monthly ovitrap index data. These vector data are used in Hong Kong as part of its dengue control plan.
