Direct-Assisted Bayesian Unit-level Modeling for Small Area Estimation of Rare Event Prevalence
Alana McGovern, Katherine Wilson, Jon Wakefield
Small area estimation using survey data can be achieved by using either a design-based or a model-based inferential approach. Design-based direct estimators are generally preferabl…
A Probabilistic Model for Analyzing Summary Birth History Data
Katie Wilson, Jon Wakefield
BACKGROUND There is an increasing demand for high quality subnational estimates of under-five mortality. In low and middle income countries, where the burden of under-five mortalit…
Estimation of Health and Demographic Indicators with Incomplete Geographic Information
Katie Wilson, Jon Wakefield
In low and middle income countries, household surveys are a valuable source of information for a range of health and demographic indicators. Increasingly, subnational estimates are…
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…
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…
