Essential Statistical Concepts for Understanding the COVID-19 Pandemic
Channel: Shih Ching Fu
Date: 04/04/2022

This seminar was originally presented to the Perth Epidemiology Group (PEG) March 2022 meeting.

In this seminar, I review some basic statistical concepts that are often encountered in the academic or popular literature on COVID-19. These include descriptive statistics that convey the progress of the pandemic in the population, and inferential statistical terms that might appear in reports on epidemic modelling, patient screening, and vaccine trials. Many of these terms will be familiar to the audience, so that this seminar would be a helpful refresher.
