Estimating the Under-Five Mortality Rate Using a Bayesian Hierarchical Time Series Model
BACKGROUND Millennium Development Goal 4 calls for a reduction in the under-five mortality rate by two-thirds between 1990 and 2015, which corresponds to an annual rate of decline of 4.4%. The United Nations Inter-Agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation estimates under-five mortality in every country to measure progress. For the majority of countries, the estimates within a country are base...
متن کاملMapping under-five mortality in the Wenchuan earthquake using hierarchical Bayesian modeling.
More than two years after the 2008 earthquake in Wenchuan, China, the total number of lives lost remains unclear, particularly for children under five years old. Mortality for this age group can be estimated using a variety of techniques, but sample proportion estimates may be unreliable in areas with low populations of children under five. To address this problem, we propose a hierarchical Bay...
متن کاملBilinear Time Series Model for Estimating a Disease Death Rate
We compare new time-series methods for estimating the death rate of an emerging and re-emerging disease and our approach is based on One-Dimensional Integrated Autoregressive Bilinear Time Series Model and Generalized Integrated Autoregressive Bilinear Time Series Model. The parameters of the proposed models are estimated using Newton-Raphson iterative method and statistical properties of the d...
متن کاملModeling and forecasting of the under-five mortality rate in Kermanshah province in Iran: a time series analysis
OBJECTIVES The target of the Fourth Millennium Development Goal (MDG-4) is to reduce the rate of under-five mortality by two-thirds between 1990 and 2015. Despite substantial progress towards achieving the target of the MDG-4 in Iran at the national level, differences at the sub-national levels should be taken into consideration. METHODS The under-five mortality data available from the Deputy...
متن کاملEstimating the basic reproduction rate of HFMD using the time series SIR model in Guangdong, China
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) has caused a substantial burden of disease in China, especially in Guangdong Province. Based on notifiable cases, we use the time series Susceptible-Infected-Recovered model to estimate the basic reproduction rate (R0) and the herd immunity threshold, understanding the transmission and persistence of HFMD more completely for efficient intervention in this pr...
