Anchoring Convenience Survey Samples to a Baseline Census for Vaccine Coverage Monitoring in Global Health
Nathaniel Dyrkton, Shomoita Alam, Susan Shepherd +3
While conducting probabilistic surveys is the gold standard for assessing vaccine coverage, implementing these surveys poses challenges for global health. There is a need for more…
Comparison of Simulation-Guided Design to Closed-Form Power Calculations in Planning a Cluster Randomized Trial with Covariate-Constrained Randomization: A Case Study in Rural Chad
Jay JH Park, Rebecca K. Metcalfe, Nathaniel Dyrkton +5
Current practices for designing cluster-randomized trials (cRCTs) typically rely on closed-form formulas for power calculations. For cRCTs using covariate-constrained randomization…
Simulation-Guided Planning of a Target Trial Emulated Cluster Randomized Trial for Mass Small-Quantity Lipid Nutrient Supplementation Combined with Expanded Program on Immunization in Rural Niger
Shomoita Alam, Nathaniel Dyrkton, Susan Shepherd +3
Background: Target trial emulation (TTE) that applies trial design principles to improve the analysis of non-randomized studies is increasingly being used. Applications of TTE to e…
Integrating representative and non-representative survey data for efficient inference
Nathaniel Dyrkton, Paul Gustafson, Harlan Campbell
Non-representative surveys are commonly used and widely available but suffer from selection bias that generally cannot be entirely eliminated using weighting techniques. Instead, w…
