Abstract EN:
This research is concerned with two different applications of the arima approach to health economics. The first one analyses the temporal relationship between the recognition of the illness and the vaccination rate to check wether or not it is economically justified to carry on whooping cough vaccination. The second one identifies the individual temporal expenditure profiles for health services of a sample of older persons. We show that it is meaningful to use the arima approach as a method to classify the persons according to their profiles.
Abstract FR:
Deux differentes applications de la methode arima de serie temporelle font l'objet de l'etude. La premiere permet de confirmer le bien fonde de la vaccination anticoquelucheuse a partir de la relation interdependance temporelle etablie entre l'apparition de la maladie et le taux de vaccination. La deuxieme cherche a identifier la forme temporelle du recours aux soins des personnes agees. Le regroupement de ces personnes, effectue en fonction de la forme du profil temporel de depense, met en evidence la possibilite d'utiliser la methode arima comme une methode classificatoire.
