Abstract: We introduce a new methodology to analyze the evolution of epidemic time series, which is based on the construction of epidemic networks. First, we translate the time series into ordinal patterns containing information about local fluctuations of the disease prevalence. Each pattern is associated to a node of a network, whose (directed) connections arise from consecutive appearances in the series. The analysis of the network structure and the role of each pattern, allows classifying them according to the enhancement of entropy/complexity along the series, giving a different point of view about the evolution of a given disease.
