<br/><br/> ??? Applications of Information Theory to Epidemiology collects recent research findings on the analysis of diagnostic information and epidemic dynamics. ??? The collection includes an outstanding new review article by William Benish, providing both a historical overview and new insights. ??? In research articles, disease diagnosis and disease dynamics are viewed from both clinical medicine and plant pathology perspectives. Both theory and applications are discussed. ??? New theory is presented, particularly in the area of diagnostic decision-making taking account of predictive values, via developments of the predictive receiver operating characteristic curve. ??? New applications of information theory to the analysis of observational studies of disease dynamics in both human and plant populations are presented.
