Distribution of detection times. A comparison between the distributions of detection times of (a) WCR algorithm, (b) ILI rate threshold, and (c) Mov-Avg Cusum method. Pandemic detection times are in terms of within nweeks of the first pandemic infections occurring; different colours of the colour bar code different values of n. Individual stacked bars represent the distribution of detection times calculated for a set of 1800 overlaid time series for different pandemic start weeks, as shown on the x-axis, from week 1 to week 33 of a typical influenza season.
