Model-based inference for small area estimation with sampling weights
TL;DR: This paper develops a predictive model-based approach to estimate the prevalence of a binary outcome for both the sampled and non-sampled individuals, using hierarchical Bayesian models that take into account the sampling weights.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the estimation of the reproduction number based on misreported epidemic data
TL;DR: A thinned version of the epidemic renewal equation is used to describe the epidemic process while accounting for the underlying reporting system and it is shown that, whenever available, additional information about time-dependent underreporting can be taken into account.
