Statistical models are invaluable for various reasons:
- Understanding Disease Dynamics: By modeling how diseases spread, we can identify critical points for intervention. - Evaluating Interventions: Models help estimate the effectiveness of public health interventions, such as vaccines or social distancing measures. - Resource Allocation: Predictive models can inform resource allocation during outbreaks, ensuring that healthcare resources are used efficiently. - Policy Making: Governments and health organizations use models to make informed decisions about health policies and strategies.
