- Abstract:
- Abstract We address the question "does digital epidemiology represent an epistemic shift in infectious disease epidemiology" from a statistician's viewpoint. Our main argument is that infectious disease epidemiology has not changed fundamentally as it always has been data-driven. However, as the data aspect has become more prominent, we discuss the statistical toolbox of the modern epidemiologist and argue that problem solving in the digital age, more than ever requires an interdisciplinary quantitative approach.
