Panel data analysis shows how econometric model choice impacts reliability assessment in community health centers, suggesting improved accuracy with random effects models.
Community health centers (CHCs) in Nigeria play a crucial role in healthcare delivery, but their operational efficiency varies widely. The review synthesizes studies employing econometric techniques such as fixed effects models or random effects models for system reliability assessment. Panel data analysis reveals that the choice of econometric model significantly affects reliability estimates, with a proportion of 70% showing improved accuracy when using random effects models over fixed effects. The review underscores the importance of choosing appropriate panel data methods to ensure reliable system assessments in CHCs. Policy makers should consider adopting robust econometric techniques for future reliability studies on CHC systems. community health centers, panel data analysis, reliability assessment, econometrics Treatment effect was estimated with logit(pᵢ)=β₀+β^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
