Der Beitrag stellt zunächst die grundlegenden Ideen der mit dem Corona-Sonderpreis des Statistischen Bundesamtes ausgezeichneten Arbeiten vor, die sich mit der Schätzung der Übersterblichkeit in den Jahren 2020 und 2021 befassen. Dabei wurde eine altersadjustierte Schätzung der jährlichen...

Since the primary mode of respiratory virus transmission is person‐to‐person interaction, we are required to reconsider physical interaction patterns to mitigate the number of people infected with COVID‐19. While research has shown that non‐pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) had an...

The development and application of models, which take the evolution of network dynamics into account, are receiving increasing attention. We contribute to this field and focus on a profile likelihood approach to model time-stamped event data for a large-scale dynamic network. We investigate the...
