Posted: 11/12/2021 (CSDE Seminar Series)
This week CSDE Affiliate and Professor of Statistics Jon Wakefield will present his research on measuring the under-five mortality rate (U5MR) in low- and middle-income countries. In this talk, he will describe models that have been developed to produce the official United Nations (UN) subnational U5MR estimates in 22 countries. He will also discuss strategies for dealing with data sparsity and time and space, discrete and continuous spatial models, and a number of other modeling topics.
