Prior-Data Fitted Networks for Causal Inference: a Simulation Study with Real-World Scenarios
Francisco Mourao, David Hajage, Daria Bystrova +4
Prior-Data Fitted Networks (PFNs) represent a paradigm shift in tabular data prediction. We present the principles of this new paradigm and evaluate two PFNs for estimating the ave…
Time Partitioning in Target Trial Emulation
Harold Tankpinou Zoumenou, Simon Ferreira, Charles Assaad +3
In target trial emulation, time partitioning enables researchers to handle time-varying confounders and immortal time bias with appropriate methods. Based on two clinical scenarios…
One pathogen does not an epidemic make: A review of interacting contagions, diseases, beliefs, and stories
Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Yong-Yeol Ahn, Antoine Allard +15
From pathogens and computer viruses to genes and memes, contagion models have found widespread utility across the natural and social sciences. Despite their success and breadth of…
Estimates of the reproduction ratio from epidemic surveillance may be biased in spatially structured populations
Piero Birello, Michele Re Fiorentin, Boxuan Wang +2
Accurate estimates of the reproduction ratio are crucial to project infectious disease epidemic evolution and guide public health response. Here, we prove that estimates of the rep…
Causal Discovery from Time Series with Hybrids of Constraint-Based and Noise-Based Algorithms
Daria Bystrova, Charles K. Assaad, Julyan Arbel +3
Constraint-based methods and noise-based methods are two distinct families of methods proposed for uncovering causal graphs from observational data. However, both operate under str…
The effect of delayed awareness and fatigue on the efficacy of self-isolation in epidemic control
Giulia de Meijere, Vittoria Colizza, Eugenio Valdano +1
The isolation of infectious individuals is a key measure of public health for the control of communicable diseases. However, involving a strong perturbation of daily life, it often…
