How to estimate (and not to estimate) war deaths: A reply to van Weezel and Spagat:
TL;DR: Van Weezel and Spagat as discussed by the authors made their response to the 2011 report of mortality in Iraq following the 2003 US-led invasion in this issue of Research & Politics.

Reed J. D. Sorensen,Abraham D. Flaxman,Alec Deason,John Everett Mumford,Erika Eldrenkamp,Mark Moses,Marcia R. Weaver +6 more
TL;DR: A generalized microsimulation framework for estimating the cost-effectiveness of health interventions and develops a new framework in Python: a discrete-time Markov model called Cost-Effectiveness Analysis with Microsimulation (CEAM).
Journal ArticleDOI
A de-identified database of 11,979 verbal autopsy open-ended responses.
TL;DR: This database will be the source of innovations that increase knowledge about the causes of ill health and, through this knowledge, produce improvements in health for individuals and populations.
