A unifying class of compound Poisson integer‐valued ARMA and GARCH models
Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract INAR (integer‐valued autoregressive) and INGARCH (integer‐valued GARCH) models are among the most commonly employed approaches for count time series modeling, but have been studied in largely distinct strands of literature. In this paper, a new class of generalized integer‐valued ARMA (GINARMA) models is introduced which unifies a large number

Change Surfaces for Expressive Multidimensional Changepoints and Counterfactual Prediction [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Identifying changes in model parameters is fundamental in machine learning and statistics. However, standard changepoint models are limited in expressiveness, often addressing unidimensional problems and assuming instantaneous changes. We introduce change surfaces as a multidimensional and highly expressive generalization of changepoints.

Voting on Vaccinations: The Political Legitimacy of Referendums on Science‐Related Questions
Theoria, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this paper, I ask whether a referendum is more legitimate than parliamentary voting as a procedure to reach a collective decision on the question of mandatory vaccinations. Since I define both procedures as applications of binary majority rule, I start by exploring the political legitimacy of such rule.

Social Imitation Dynamics of Vaccination Driven by Vaccine Effectiveness and Beliefs [PDF]
arXivDeclines in vaccination coverage for vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles and chickenpox, have enabled their surprising comebacks and pose significant public health challenges in the wake of growing vaccine hesitancy. Vaccine opt-outs and refusals are often fueled by beliefs concerning perceptions of vaccine effectiveness and exaggerated risks.

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2014 Observational studies and trials from low-income countries indicate that measles vaccine has beneficial nonspecific effects, protecting against non–measles-related mortality.

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.We performed a survey on lifestyle habits aimed at reducing the risks associated with immunosuppression in kidney transplant recipients. We found gaps in dental hygiene, sunscreen use, vaccination, and consumption of high‐risk foods. Cultural and economic factors influenced adherence.

Emulating a gravity model to infer the spatiotemporal dynamics of an infectious disease [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 Probabilistic models for infectious disease dynamics are useful for understanding the mechanism underlying the spread of infection. When the likelihood function for these models is expensive to evaluate, traditional likelihood-based inference may be computationally intractable. Furthermore, traditional inference may lead to poor parameter estimates and

Assessing the impact of non-vaccinators: quantifying the average length of infection chains in outbreaks of vaccine-preventable disease [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Analytical expressions for the basic reproduction number, R0, have been obtained in the past for a wide variety of mathematical models for infectious disease spread, along with expressions for the expected final size of an outbreak. However, what has so far not been studied is the average number of infections that descend down the chains of infection ...
