Multi-Objective Policy Monitoring Method for Epidemic Control
In the face of emerging infectious diseases such as COVID-19, timely government intervention is crucial, as swift policy actions can effectively prevent greater losses. However, policymakers often need to balance multiple conflicting objectives. The lack of high-quality data and suitable analytical tools poses significant challenges for policy evaluation, especially in multi-objective decision-making, where accurately assessing the impact of interventions becomes even more difficult. To address this issue, this paper proposes a real-time data-driven policy monitoring method for dynamically tracking the effects of policy interventions. We introduce a new non-parametric one-sided test control chart, leveraging the interpretability and ease of implementation of control charts to monitor risk levels across various policies. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of this method in policy monitoring.
