Joint Bayesian modeling of time to malaria and mosquito abundance in Ethiopia

Joint Bayesian modeling of time to malaria and mosquito abundance in Ethiopia

Abstract Background This paper studies the effect of mosquito abundance and malaria incidence in the last 3 weeks, and their interaction, on the hazard of time to malaria in a previously studied cohort of children in Ethiopia. Methods We model the mosquito abundance and time to malaria data jointly...
