We discuss several issues of statistical design, data collection, analysis, communication, and decision-making that have arisen in recent and ongoing coronavirus studies, focusing on tools for assessment and propagation of uncertainty. This paper does not purport to be a comprehensive survey of the research literature; rather, we use examples to illustrate statistical points that we think are important.
我们讨论了近期及正在进行的冠状病毒研究中出现的统计设计、数据收集、分析、交流和决策等几个问题,重点关注不确定性评估和传播的工具。本文并非旨在对研究文献进行全面综述;相反,我们用实例来说明我们认为重要的统计学要点。
