We (Reich et al. 2019) present the results of a multiinstitution collaborative effort to standardize the collection and evaluation of forecasting models for influenza in the United States for the 2010/2011 through 2016/2017 influenza seasons. For these seven seasons, we assembled weekly real-time forecasts of seven targets of public health interest from 22 different models. We compared forecast accuracy of each model relative to a historical baseline seasonal average. Across all regions of the United States, over half of the models showed consistently better performance than the historical baseline when forecasting incidence of influenza-like illness 1 wk, 2 wk, and 3 wk ahead of available data and when forecasting the timing and magnitude of the seasonal peak. In some regions, delays in data reporting were strongly and negatively associated with forecast accuracy. More timely reporting and an improved overall accessibility to novel and traditional data sources are needed to improve forecasting accuracy and its integration with real-time public health decision making.

The sufficiency principle: If S = s(X) is a sufficient statistic for θ, and x and y are two observations such that s(x) = s(y), then the inference about θ should be the same irrespective of whether X = x or Y = y was observed.

Following Section 2.2(iii) of Cox and Hinkley (1974), we may interpret sufficiency as follows.

Consider two individuals who both assert the model E = {X, Θ, f_X(x |θ)}.
The first individual observes x directly.
The second individual also observes x but in a two stage process:
1. They first observe a value s(x) of a sufficient statistic S with distribution f_S(s |θ).
2. They then observe the value x of the random variable X with distribution f_X|S(x |s) which does not depend upon θ.

It may well then be reasonable to argue that, as the final distribution for X for the two individuals are identical, the conclusions drawn from the observation of a given x should be identical for the two individuals. That is, they should make the same inference about θ.

For the second individual, when sampling from f_X|S(x |s) they are sampling from a fixed distribution and so, assuming the correctness of the model, only the first stage is informative: all of the knowledge about θ is contained in s(x).

If one takes these two statements together then the inference to be made about θ depends only on the value s(x) and not the individual values x i contained in x.

Hastie and Efron (2016) consider that there are three ages of statistical inference:

the pre-computer age (essentially the period from 1763 and the publication of Bayes’ rule up until the 1950s),
the early-computer age (from the 1950s to the 1990s),
and the current age (a period of computer-dependence with enormously ambitious algorithms and model complexity).

With these developments in mind, it is clear that there exist a hierarchy of statistical models.

Models where f_X(x |θ) has a known analytic form.
Models where f_X(x |θ) can be evaluated.
Models where we can simulate X from f_X(x |θ).

Between the first case and the second case exist models where f_X(x |θ) can be evaluated up to an unknown constant, which may or may not depend upon θ. In the first case, we might be able to derive an analytic expression for θ or to prove that f_X(x |θ) has a unique maximum so that any numerical maximisation will converge to θ(x).

In GIMH, at iteration i, when a new value θ' is proposed, an SMC algorithm is run to estimate the likelihood p(θ'), which is plugged into the numerator of the acceptance ratio, together with prior and proposal density. The denominator is composed of the previously-retained estimated likelihood for the initial parameter p(θⁱ) and the respective prior and proposal density. Upon acceptance, the proposed parameter θ' and its estimated likelihood p(θ') are retained; upon rejection the old parameter θⁱ and its likelihood p(θⁱ) are retained.

Huntington divided the world into the "major civilizations" in his thesis as such: Western civilization, comprising the United States and Canada, Western and Central Europe, Australia, Oceania and most of the Philippines. Whether Latin America and the former member states of the Soviet Union are included, or are instead their own separate civilizations, will be an important future consideration for those regions, according to Huntington.

Question

Attributes likely to be essential components of any GCBR-level pathogen include:

[...] human-to-human transmissibility,
an appreciable case fatality rate,
the absence of an effective or widely available medical countermeasure,
an immunologically naïve population,
virulence factors enabling immune system evasion, and
respiratory mode of spread.

Additionally, the ability to transmit during incubation periods and/or the occurrence of mild illnesses would further augment spread.
