Semi-Mechanistic Bayesian Modeling of COVID-19 with Renewal Processes
Samir Bhatt, Neil Ferguson, Seth Flaxman +3
We propose a general Bayesian approach to modeling epidemics such as COVID-19. The approach grew out of specific analyses conducted during the pandemic, in particular an analysis c…
Referenced Thermodynamic Integration for Bayesian Model Selection: Application to COVID-19 Model Selection
Iwona Hawryluk, Swapnil Mishra, Seth Flaxman +2
Model selection is a fundamental part of the applied Bayesian statistical methodology. Metrics such as the Akaike Information Criterion are commonly used in practice to select mode…
Improving axial resolution in SIM using deep learning
Miguel Boland, Edward A. K. Cohen, Seth Flaxman +1
Structured Illumination Microscopy is a widespread methodology to image live and fixed biological structures smaller than the diffraction limits of conventional optical microscopy.…
Inference of COVID-19 epidemiological distributions from Brazilian hospital data
Iwona Hawryluk, Thomas A. Mellan, Henrique H. Hoeltgebaum +8
Knowing COVID-19 epidemiological distributions, such as the time from patient admission to death, is directly relevant to effective primary and secondary care planning, and moreove…
A unified machine learning approach to time series forecasting applied to demand at emergency departments
Michaela A. C. Vollmer, Ben Glampson, Thomas A. Mellan +7
There were 25.6 million attendances at Emergency Departments (EDs) in England in 2019 corresponding to an increase of 12 million attendances over the past ten years. The steadily r…
On the derivation of the renewal equation from an age-dependent branching process: an epidemic modelling perspective
Swapnil Mishra, Tresnia Berah, Thomas A. Mellan +6
Renewal processes are a popular approach used in modelling infectious disease outbreaks. In a renewal process, previous infections give rise to future infections. However, while th…
