2. The Problem
Can we predict the source of a foodborne salmonella or STEC(shiga toxin producting E. coli) from characterstics of the outbreak
Serotype (for Salmonella)
Geography – local, concentrated or disperse
Severity
Gender balance of infected individuals
Age groups infected
seasonality

3. Challenges Unbalanced Data
Predictors are dynamic over the course of an outbreak
Missing Predictors
Missing Outcomes

4. Turns out the shiny app is the easy part…
