Tree-informed Bayesian multi-source domain adaptation: cross-population probabilistic cause-of-death assignment using verbal autopsy
Zhenke Wu, Zehang Richard Li, Irena Chen +1
Determining causes of deaths (COD) occurred outside of civil registration and vital statistics systems is challenging. A technique called verbal autopsy (VA) is widely adopted to g…
Bayesian Nested Latent Class Models for Cause-of-Death Assignment using Verbal Autopsies Across Multiple Domains
Zehang Richard Li, Zhenke Wu, Irena Chen +1
Understanding cause-specific mortality rates is crucial for monitoring population health and designing public health interventions. Worldwide, two-thirds of deaths do not have a ca…
The Two Cultures of Prevalence Mapping: Small Area Estimation and Model-Based Geostatistics
Jon Wakefield, Peter A. Gao, Geir-Arne Fuglstad +1
In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), accurate estimates of subnational health and demographic indicators are critical for guiding policy and identifying disparities. Many i…
The openVA Toolkit for Verbal Autopsies
Zehang Richard Li, Jason Thomas, Eungang Choi +2
Verbal autopsy (VA) is a survey-based tool widely used to infer cause of death (COD) in regions without complete-coverage civil registration and vital statistics systems. In such s…
