Refining capture-recapture methods to estimate case counts in a finite population setting
Michael Doerfler, Wenhao Mao, Lin Ge +5
In this paper, we expand upon and refine a monitoring strategy proposed for surveillance of diseases in finite, closed populations. This monitoring strategy consists of augmenting…
A Capture-Recapture Approach to Enhance Treatment Effect Evaluation in an Observational Cohort
Lin Ge, Yuzi Zhang, Lance A. Waller +1
We extend recently proposed design-based capture-recapture (CRC) methods for prevalence estimation among registry participants, in order to enhance treatment effect evaluation amon…
Utilizing a Capture-Recapture Strategy to Accelerate Infectious Disease Surveillance
Lin Ge, Yuzi Zhang, Lance A. Waller +1
Monitoring key elements of disease dynamics (e.g., prevalence, case counts) is of great importance in infectious disease prevention and control, as emphasized during the COVID-19 p…
On some pitfalls of the log-linear modeling framework for capture-recapture studies in disease surveillance
Yuzi Zhang, Lin Ge, Lance A. Waller +1
In epidemiological studies, the capture-recapture (CRC) method is a powerful tool that can be used to estimate the number of diseased cases or potentially disease prevalence based…
A Scalar-on-Quantile-Function Approach for Estimating Short-term Health Effects of Environmental Exposures
Yuzi Zhang, Howard H. Chang, Joshua L. Warren +1
Environmental epidemiologic studies routinely utilize aggregate health outcomes to estimate effects of short-term (e.g., daily) exposures that are available at increasingly fine sp…
Enhanced Inference for Finite Population Sampling-Based Prevalence Estimation with Misclassification Errors
Lin Ge, Yuzi Zhang, Lance A. Waller +1
Epidemiologic screening programs often make use of tests with small, but non-zero probabilities of misdiagnosis. In this article, we assume the target population is finite with a f…
A Design and Analytic Strategy for Monitoring Disease Positivity and Case Characteristics in Accessible Closed Populations
Robert H. Lyles, Yuzi Zhang, Lin Ge +1
We propose a monitoring strategy for efficient and robust estimation of disease prevalence and case numbers within closed and enumerated populations such as schools, workplaces, or…
Tailoring Capture-Recapture Methods to Estimate Registry-Based Case Counts Based on Error-Prone Diagnostic Signals
Lin Ge, Yuzi Zhang, Kevin C. Ward +3
Surveillance research is of great importance for effective and efficient epidemiological monitoring of case counts and disease prevalence. Taking specific motivation from ongoing e…
