Estimating Under Five Mortality in Space and Time in a Developing World Context
Jon Wakefield, Geir-Arne Fuglstad, Andrea Riebler +3
Accurate estimates of the under-5 mortality rate (U5MR) in a developing world context are a key barometer of the health of a nation. This paper describes new models to analyze surv…
Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Surveillance Data
Jon Wakefield, Tracy Qi Dong, Vladimir N. Minin
In this chapter, we consider space-time analysis of surveillance count data. Such data are ubiquitous and a number of approaches have been proposed for their analysis. We first des…
Pointless Continuous Spatial Surface Reconstruction
Katherine Wilson, Jon Wakefield
The analysis of area-level aggregated summary data is common in many disciplines including epidemiology and the social sciences. Typically, Markov random field spatial models have…
InSilicoVA: A Method to Automate Cause of Death Assignment for Verbal Autopsy
Samuel J. Clark, Tyler McCormick, Zehang Li +1
Verbal autopsies (VA) are widely used to provide cause-specific mortality estimates in developing world settings where vital registration does not function well. VAs assign cause(s…
Bayesian sandwich posteriors for pseudo-true parameters
Peter Hoff, Jon Wakefield
Under model misspecification, the MLE generally converges to the pseudo-true parameter, the parameter corresponding to the distribution within the model that is closest to the dist…
