Abstract

We present the first application of archetypal analysis for influenza data from 2010 to 2018 in Montana, USA. Using archetypes, we decompose the data into spatial and temporal components, allowing for a more informed analysis of spatial-temporal dynamic trends during an influenza season. Initially, we reduce the dimension of the set of counties by using a mutual information measure on the influenza time series to create a smaller, maximal mutual information network. Archetypal analysis then describes the relationship between influenza cases across counties and regions in Montana. Finally, we discuss the potential implications this analysis can have for infectious disease modeling, particularly where data is sparse and limited.
