Figure 5

Cumulative count of hotspots detected for two hotspot types. This presents the cumulative number of simulations where the hotspot is successfully detected by each method over the known period of the hotspot. Figure 5 a is for the case where the hotspot affects patients aged between 2 and 12 who are admitted as inpatients at the conclusion of their presentation across all 3 the disease groups (Peak height 40 at day 7). Figure 5 b is for the case where the hotspot affects only Flu patients aged between 2 and 12 who are admitted as inpatients at the conclusion of their presentation with other Flu patients presenting in relative fewer numbers (Peak height 40 at day 7).
