To examine the relationship between monthly average rain, temperature, and dew point and incidence hospitalized childhood ARI infections, we estimated the cross-wavelet transform between the z-standardized time series (we subtracted the mean of the time series and divided by the standard deviation) of weather and viral detections (Cazelles et al., 2008) . We evaluated seasonal patterns and associations with weather of hospitalizations for several respiratory viruses using three lines of evidence: 1) Poisson regression examining the relative incidence across months of virus detections adjusted for weather covariates, 2) cross-wavelet transforms of hospitalizations with viral detections, and 3) a sensitivity analysis with a logistic regression model finding odds ratio of hospitalizations with viral detections and weather variables. ./cache/cord-330819-vfagxsdz.txt ./txt/cord-330819-vfagxsdz.txt
