Table 2 Defined weighting index by rate of hospital visits for ILI. The columns with ‘Increasing’ in their name present values when the ILI patient ratio increases, while the columns with ‘Decreasing’ in their name present values when the ILI patient ratio decreases. Columns with ‘Weight’, ‘Max’, ‘Min’, and ‘Variance’ in their name present the weighting index, maximum variation between 2 weeks in the corresponding section, minimum variation between 2 weeks in the corresponding section, and the variance of the corresponding section, respectively
