TIME SERIES ANALYSIS ON THE RATE OF TYPHOID FEVER CASES IN ABIA STATE FROM 2001-2010

(A CASE STUDY OF ABSUTH)

ABSTRACT

This research work is concerned with the time series analysis on the rate of typhoid fever cases in Abia state from 2001-2010, with Abaia state university teaching hospital Aba as a case study. This survey was carried out using time series analysis to ascertain whether there is a significant increase in the seasonal variation in the reported cases of typhoid fever. Finally, following the inferences drawn from the data collected for the survey, it was discovered that there was a strong seasonal variation in some quarter of the period under review, which can be attributed to some certain factors like raining season. Prevention and control measures were recommended for fighting/combating this problem on the rate of typhoid fever cases in our society.

Hi:   There is significant increase in the trend of recorded cases of typhoid fever from 2001-2010.

Ho:  There is no seasonal variation in the recorded cases of typhoid fever from 2001-2010

Hi:   There is seasonal variation in the recorded cases of typhoid fever from 2001-2010.

1.6   SCOPE OF STUDY

        This study is designed to cover Aba, the commercial city of Abia state. Aba is a city and a big trading center in Abia state. It will also cover a period of ten (10) years (2001-2010).
