This paper presents a simple method for estimation of population vaccination effectiveness, which is the fraction of disease cases prevented by a vaccination programme. The method is based on the susceptible-infectious-recovered (SIR) model for the spread of an epidemic in a heterogeneous population

โฆ Synopsis
In this paper, an adaptive Kalman "ltering algorithm is developed for use to estimate the reduction of control e!ectiveness in a closed-loop setting. Control e!ectiveness factors are used to quantify faults entering control systems through actuators. A set of covariance-dependent forgetting factors is introduced into the "ltering algorithm. As a result, the change in the control e!ectiveness is accentuated to help achieve a more accurate estimate more rapidly. A weighted sum-squared bias estimate is de"ned for the change detection. The state estimate is fed back to achieve the steady-state regulation, while the control e!ectiveness estimate is used for the on-line tuning of the control law. A stability analysis is performed for the adaptive regulator.

Estimation of the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) is difficult for several reasons: treatments that decrease both cost and effectiveness and treatments that increase both cost and effectiveness can yield identical values of the ICER; the ICER is a discontinuous function of the mean diffe
