Yunhan Wu, Jon Wakefield
In low- and middle-income countries, household surveys are the most reliable data source to examine health and demographic indicators at the subnational level, an exercise in small…
Incorporating testing volume into estimation of effective reproduction number dynamics
Isaac H. Goldstein, Jon Wakefield, Volodymyr M. Minin
Branching process inspired models are widely used to estimate the effective reproduction number -- a useful summary statistic describing an infectious disease outbreak -- using cou…
Spatial Aggregation with Respect to a Population Distribution
John Paige, Geir-Arne Fuglstad, Andrea Riebler +1
