Stochastic differential equation for modelling health related quality of life
Ralph Brinks
In this work we propose a stochastic differential equation (SDE) for modelling health related quality of life (HRQoL) over a lifespan. HRQoL is assumed to be bounded between 0 and…
Estimation of age-specific excess mortality of men and women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Germany
Ralph Brinks
A MCMC approach is used to estimate the age-specific mortality rate ratio for German men and women with RA. For constructing priors, we calculate a range of admissible values from…
Estimation of excess mortality in a chronic condition from current status data with disease duration: simulation study about need for long-term care
Ralph Brinks
This article describes a method to estimate the mortality rate ratio R from current status data with duration in a chronic condition in case the general mortality of the overall po…
Importance of diagnostic accuracy in big data: False-positive diagnoses of type 2 diabetes in health insurance claims data of 70 million Germans
Ralph Brinks, Thaddaeus Toennies, Annika Hoyer
Large data sets comprising diagnoses about chronic conditions are becoming increasingly available for research purposes. In Germany, it is planned that aggregated claims data inclu…
Numerical considerations about the SIR epidemic model with infection age
Ralph Brinks, Annika Hoyer
We analyse the infection-age-dependent SIR model from a numerical point of view. First, we present an algorithm for calculating the solution the infection-age-structured SIR model…
Estimation of the actual disease occurrence based on official case numbers during a COVID outbreak in Germany 2020
Ralph Brinks, Annika Hoyer
Since the beginning of March 2020, the cumulative numbers of cases of infection with the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in Germany have been reported on a daily basis. The reports or…
