Epidemiologists utilize various data formats, including:
Numerical Data: Represents quantitative information, such as the number of cases or incidence rates. Categorical Data: Includes qualitative information, such as gender, age groups, or disease status (e.g., infected vs. non-infected). Time-Series Data: Captures data points at successive times to observe trends or patterns over time. Geospatial Data: Involves location-based data for mapping disease spread and identifying hotspots.
