Statistical methods to estimate infectious disease parameters and individual heterogeneity using multivariate serological data Hasselt University
The PhD proposal aims at developing and applying statistical methods for the analysis of multivariate serological data in the presence of observed and unobserved heterogeneity in the acquisition of infectious diseases. These methods will be used to infer important epidemiological parameters such as the basic reproduction number, the force of infection and the amount of unobserved heterogeneity. More specifically, we aim at developing estimators ...
