Analysis walkthrough

This page fits the BDBV delay + CFR model in BdbvLinelist.jl to the Rosello et al. 2015 Isiro deposit (n = 52) and renders the headline outputs. Three parametric families (LogNormal, Gamma, Weibull) are compared by WAIC; the Gamma fit is the canonical run. The marginal onset → death and onset → discharge distributions are derived in post-processing as Monte Carlo convolutions of the atomic components, enforcing the per-case natural-history identity at the population level. A logistic regression stratifies case-fatality by HCW status, case definition (Probable vs Confirmed), and standardised age.

Priors, the doubly-censored likelihood, and post-processing are detailed on the Model page. Caveats are on the Limitations page. Per-draw posterior CSV and figure bundle from this build is in the rolling main-latest release.

Load the line list

load_linelist parses the bundled CSV from data/linelist.csv and scrubs the five admission-date encoding outliers and the one notification-date outlier described in Limitations. build_data re-encodes the per-pair delays into the vectors used by the doubly-censored likelihood.

Headline Gamma estimates

Fit all three families (Gamma wins on WAIC; comparison table and plot are in the Family comparison section below) and tabulate the four atomic delay components alongside Rosello et al. 2015 Table 5 empirical means. Rosello capped the raw delays at 30 days before computing those summary statistics — this is binding on onset → notification (where 9 of 38 cases exceed 30 d) and accounts for most of the difference there.

julia

# Suppress the package's stdout printing — we build clean DataFrame
# tables from the returned posterior vectors below. The fit itself
# emits a fair amount of Turing diagnostics (initial step size,
# sampling progress, the occasional divergent-transition warning)
# that aren't part of the narrative, so the call and its captured
# output are tucked into the dropdown below.

Posterior predictive check (Gamma)

Four panels — one per atomic delay — overlaying the observed integer day histogram with the simulated double-interval-censored posterior predictive (median + 95% band). The dashed black line in each panel marks the Rosello et al. 2015 Table 5 mean (4.00, 7.59, 8.00, 8.83 d) for visual comparison.

Prior versus posterior

Pairwise distributions of the four atomic Gamma log_mean parameters under the prior used in fitting and the resulting posterior.

Prior sensitivity

Refit the Gamma model under three prior-scale settings (0.5, 1.0 default, 2.0). The default 1.0 prior gives ≈ ×3-fold prior latitude on the central tendency of each delay; a 4× span across the sweep shifts posterior means by < 5%.

Length of stay in hospital

Time from admission to leaving hospital (admission → departure). The overall length of stay is a mixture of the fatal pathway (admission → death) and the survivor pathway (admission → discharge), weighted per posterior draw by the in-hospital fatality among admitted cases — Beta(1 + n_died, 1 + n_discharged) with 22 deaths and 15 discharges. The fatal and survivor rows are the corresponding atomic components; the overall row is the bed-occupancy-relevant marginal across both outcomes.

Early-phase growth rate

An exploratory exponential-growth fit to the rising phase of the weekly onset curve — week 1 (2012-05-28) through the peak week (2012-09-10), inclusive. The model is a Poisson regression log(λ_t) = α + r·t with weakly-informative Normal(0, 5) and Normal(0, 1) priors on α and r_week. Intended as a prior source for downstream re-applications (e.g. the outbreak-size work in epiforecasts/BVDOutbreakSize) rather than as a primary headline of this analysis. The CrI on r covers zero — Isiro was a slow, noisy rise — so use the posterior as a weakly-informative prior, not a tight constraint.

Side-by-side posterior-predictive comparison across families. One column per family, four rows (one per delay). The LogNormal tail-over-fit on the onset → notification panel is what drives the WAIC penalty. The black dashed line in each panel marks the Rosello et al. 2015 Table 5 empirical mean for that delay (computed after capping the raw delays at 30 days) — the onset → notification gap is the most visible consequence of that cap.

Derived (convolved) marginals
