A Survival Framework for Estimating Child Mortality Rates using Multiple Data Types
Katherine R Paulson, Taylor Okonek, Jon Wakefield
Child mortality is an important population health indicator. However, many countries lack high-quality vital registration to measure child mortality rates precisely and reliably ov…
A Pseudo-likelihood Approach to Under-5 Mortality Estimation
Taylor Okonek, Katherine Wilson, Jon Wakefield
Accurate and precise estimates of the under-5 mortality rate (U5MR) are an important health summary for countries. However, full survival curves allow us to better understand the p…
Estimating Subnational Under-Five Mortality Rates Using a Spatio-Temporal Age-Period-Cohort Model
Connor Gascoigne, Theresa Smith, John Paige +1
Producing subnational estimates of the under-five mortality rate (U5MR) is a vital goal for the United Nations to reduce inequalities in mortality and well-being across the globe.…
Adaptive Gaussian Markov Random Fields for Child Mortality Estimation
Serge Aleshin-Guendel, Jon Wakefield
The under-5 mortality rate (U5MR), a critical health indicator, is typically estimated from household surveys in lower and middle income countries. Spatio-temporal disaggregation o…
