To assess the validity, bias, and precision of the screening method for estimating vaccine effectiveness within a structured statistical modeling framework.
Evaluated the statistical validity of the screening method, focusing on precision, bias, and confidence interval estimation.
Developed a modeling framework designed to adjust for covariates, correct confounding factors, and account for over-dispersion.
Applied the proposed analytical models to real-world epidemiological surveillance data for measles and pertussis vaccines.
Demonstrated that the screening method offers a rapid and valid estimation of vaccine effectiveness when controlling for potential bias.
Established that modeling frameworks adequately adjust for confounding covariates and over-dispersion while yielding accurate confidence limits.
