How Are Bayesian Adaptive Designs Applied in Epidemiological Studies?
Bayesian adaptive designs have been applied in various epidemiological contexts, such as:
- Vaccine Trials: Used to rapidly assess the efficacy of new vaccines during outbreaks. - Treatment Effectiveness: Evaluating the effectiveness of treatments for chronic diseases by adapting sample sizes and treatment arms based on interim results. - Disease Surveillance: Monitoring the spread and impact of infectious diseases using real-time data to update models and inform public health interventions.
