Nowcasting Temporal Trends Using Indirect Surveys

Join us either in-person or via Zoom for a seminar with Dr. Ajitesh Srivastava, USC CAIS associate director and research assistant professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, on using indirect surveys to provide estimates for trends among hidden populations. Indirect surveys, in which respondents provide information about other people they know, have traditionally been used for point-in-time NSUM analysis. Dr. Srivastava will share new approaches to using indirect surveys collected over time using newly developed analytical tools and demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach through both extensive simulations and using a real indirect survey dataset of COVID-19 cases. 

All are welcome to attend.
