TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that if en random arcs are added to any n-node strongly connected digraph with bounded degree, the resulting graph has diameter O(lnn) with high probability.

TL;DR: Subnational estimates of U5MR reveal significant within-country variation and could be used for identifying high-need areas and positive deviants, tracking trends in geographic inequalities, and evaluating progress towards international development targets such as the Sustainable Development Goals.
Journal ArticleDOI
New challenges for verbal autopsy: Considering the ethical and social implications of verbal autopsy methods in routine health information systems.
Hebe N. Gouda,Hebe N. Gouda,Abraham D. Flaxman,Claire E. Brolan,Rohina Joshi,Ian Riley,Carla AbouZahr,Sonja Firth,Rasika Rampatige,Alan D. Lopez +9 more
TL;DR: Harnessing the experiences of applying and rolling out VAs as part of routine CRVS systems in a number of low and middle income countries, potential issues that countries and implementing institutions need to consider when incorporating VAs intoCRVS systems are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring causes of death in populations: a new metric that corrects cause-specific mortality fractions for chance
Abraham D. Flaxman,Peter T. Serina,Bernardo Hernández,Christopher J L Murray,Ian Riley,Alan D. Lopez +5 more
TL;DR: A new metric of population-level estimation accuracy, the Chance Corrected CSMF Accuracy (CCCSMF Accuracy), which has value near zero for random guessing, and negative quality values for estimation methods that are worse than random at the population level.
