In the realm of epidemiology, the terms epidemic, pandemic, and endemic are fundamental in describing the prevalence and geographic spread of diseases. These terms, often used in public health discussions,
Introduction For this ThuRsday Tutorial, we’re going to cover something a bit different. Instead of showing how to do fairly simple epidemiological calculations, this edition will cover the first of
Clinical trials, particularly randomized controlled trials (RCTs), are critical to evidence-based interventions, pharmaceutical testing, and public heatlh. They provide the most reliable data on the effectiveness of treatments, interventions, and
Case-control studies are a cornerstone of population research, offering insights into the factors that may contribute to the occurrence of diseases or conditions. These studies are particularly invaluable in understanding
Hi all, This is just a quick blog note that the PyFriday Python Tutorial will be delayed by a week (alongside the ThuRsday R Article) as I am writing up
Nonrandomized (Community) Trials, also known as observational studies or quasi-experimental studies, are a crucial research design in epidemiology and public health. These studies provide valuable insights into the effects of
The Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered (SEIR) model is a natural extension of the SIR Model, accounting for a fourth category of disease state, Exposure. For this PyFriday Tutorial, we’ll cover how to not

Cohort studies are a common study method throughout public health and intervention methods. By following groups of people who are alike in many ways but differ by a certain characteristic,
The Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) model is a fundamental concept in epidemiology, offering insights into how diseases spread and recede in populations over time through a relatively simply set of functions. For
