Case study: Application to Austrian COVID-19 survey

We use the methodology developed in this paper for the case of the COVID-19 prevalence estimation using the results of a survey done in November 2020 by Statistics Austria (2020). We also compare the different approaches, in order to illustrate, in practice, the impact of choosing one method rather than another one. In November 2020, a survey sample of \(n=2287\) was collected to test for COVID-19 using PCR-tests. Seventy-two participants were tested positive, and among these ones, thirty-five (\(R_1=35\)) had declared to have been tested positive with the official procedure, during the same month. In November, there were \(93914\) declared cases among the official (approximately) \(7166167\) inhabitants in Austria (above 16 years old), so that \(\pi_0 \approx 1.3105\%\). The sensitivity (\(1-\alpha\)) and the specificity (\(1-\beta\)) are not known with precision, so that we present estimates of the prevalence without misclassification error as well as for values for the FP and FN rates, that are plausible given the data and according to the sensitivity and specificity reported in or .

The results presented in Table 2 of Guerrier, Kuzmics, and Victoria-Feser (2023) can be reproduced as follows:

# Load pempi

Unweighted sampling 35.0000 0 37.0000 2218.00

The data can be summarized as follows:

We can check that \(R_{11} + R_{10} + R_{01} + R_{00} = n\)

R1 + R2 + R3 + R4
## [1] 2290

and \(\bar{R}_{11} + \bar{R}_{10} + \bar{R}_{01} + \bar{R}_{00} = n\)

R1w + R2w + R3w + R4w
## [1] 2290

For the analysis we consider the possibility of measurement error, in which we use the following values:

# Measurement error
alpha0 = 0
alpha = 1/100
beta = 10/100

Replicating Figure 1

Figure 1 can be obtained by running the file pempi/figures/case_study.Rnw. A similar base R version can be obtained as follows:

# Assumptions
pi0 = 93914/7166167
alpha = 1/100
alpha0 = 0
m = 300
beta = seq(from = 0, to = 30, length.out = m)/100
res_moment = res_smle = matrix(NA, m, 3)
V = mean(covid19_austria$weights^2)

for (i in 1:m){
  # Moment estimator
  inter = moment_estimator(R3 = R3w, n = n, pi0 = pi0,
                           alpha = alpha, alpha0 = alpha0,
                           beta = beta[i], V = V)

  res_moment[i,] = c(inter$estimate, inter$ci_asym)

  # Survey MLE
  inter = survey_mle(R = R1w + R3w, n = n, pi0 = pi0,
                     alpha = alpha, alpha0 = alpha0,
                     beta = beta[i], V = V)

  res_smle[i,] = c(inter$estimate, inter$ci_asym)
}

cols = c("#F8766DFF", "#00BFC4FF")
cols2 = c("#F8766D1F", "#00BFC41F")

        100*c(res_moment[,2], rev(res_moment[,3])),
        col = cols2[1], border = NA)

Simulation Study

The results summarized in Section 5 Guerrier, Kuzmics, and Victoria-Feser (2023) can be replicated as follows:

  1. Run the file pempi/simulations/simulation_script.R which should take a couple of hours on a standard laptop and generate the file pempi/simulations/simulations.RData.
  2. Run the file pempi/simulations/figures.Rnw (which reads pempi/simulations/simulations.RData) to generates the figures (as well as color versions of these figures).
