Talk: Estimating vaccine impact using counterfactual prediction
Speaker: Anabelle Wong from Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology
"Vaccine impact estimation is challenging because the population-level vaccine impact involves indirect protection of the unvaccinated, which cannot be easily assessed in traditional RCTs. In addition, estimating vaccine impact requires a counterfactual, which is difficult to obtain. In this talk, I will present an approach using LASSO regression to predict the counterfactual outcome for vaccine impact inference. There is also a discussion on its application and outlook."
