What are the Challenges in Achieving High Predictive Accuracy?
Epidemiologists face several challenges in achieving high predictive accuracy:
Data Limitations: Missing, biased, or unrepresentative data can distort predictions. Dynamic Systems: The constantly changing nature of factors affecting disease spread can complicate modeling efforts. Ethical Considerations: Balancing accuracy with ethical concerns like privacy and data protection. Resource Constraints: Limited resources for data collection and model development.
