Comment on: "The Two Cultures of Prevalence Mapping: Small Area Estimation and Model-Based Geostatistics"
Emanuele Giorgi, Claudio Fronterre, Peter Diggle
Small Area Estimation (SAE) and Model-Based Geostatistics (MBG) provide complementary approaches to prevalence mapping, with their relative advantages depending on the inferential…
A decay-adjusted spatio-temporal model to account for the impact of mass drug administration on neglected tropical disease prevalence
Emanuele Giorgi, Claudio Fronterre, Peter J. Diggle
Prevalence surveys are routinely used to monitor the effectiveness of mass drug administration (MDA) programmes for controlling neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). We propose a dec…
Modernising the Design and Analysis of Prevalence Surveys for Neglected Tropical Diseases
Peter J. Diggle, Claudio Fronterre, Katherine Gass +5
Current WHO guidelines set prevalence thresholds below which a Neglected Tropical Disease can be considered to have been eliminated as a public health problem, and specify how surv…
Geostatistical inference in the presence of geomasking: a composite-likelihood approach
Claudio Fronterrè, Emanuele Giorgi, Peter J. Diggle
In almost any geostatistical analysis, one of the underlying, often implicit, modelling assump- tions is that the spatial locations, where measurements are taken, are recorded with…
