Deriving Duration Time from Occupancy Data -- A case study in the length of stay in Intensive Care Units for COVID-19 patients

Martje Rave, Göran Kauermann

This paper focuses on drawing information on underlying processes, which are not directly observed in the data. In particular, we work with data in which only the total count of un…

Estimating excess mortality in high-income countries during the COVID-19 pandemic

Giacomo De Nicola, Göran Kauermann

Quantifying the number of deaths caused by the COVID-19 crisis has been an ongoing challenge for scientists, and no golden standard to do so has yet been established. We propose a…
