Bayesian inverse ensemble forecasting for COVID‐19

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Variations in strains of COVID‐19 have a significant impact on the rate of surges and on the accuracy of forecasts of the epidemic dynamics. The primary goal for this article is to quantify the effects of varying strains of COVID‐19 on ensemble forecasts of individual “surges.” By modelling the disease dynamics with an SIR model, we solve the ...

Irregular visits in longitudinal studies: Comparing inverse intensity of visit weighting and imputation in a causal analysis of antidepressant therapeutic treatment

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Irregular observation times are common in longitudinal observational studies and can affect causal inferences. We use data from electronic health records of Kaiser Permanente Washington patients in the United States who initiated an antidepressant medication between 2008 and 2018, with a confirming diagnosis of depression. We are interested in
