A Hierarchical Bayesian approach to small area estimation of health insurance coverage in Ethiopian administrative zones for better policies and programs
AbstractSample surveys are extensively used to provide reliable direct estimates for large areas or domains with enough sample sizes at national and regional levels. However, zones are unplanned domains by the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) program and need more sample sizes to produce direct survey estimates with adequate precision. Conducting surveys in small areas (like zones) is too expensive and time-consuming, making it unfeasible for developing countries like Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aims to use the Hierarchical Bayes (HB) Small Area Estimation (SAE) model to estimate the Community-Based Health Insura...

As the lakes that flamingos inhabit expand, the birds ’ food supplies are rapidly shrinking
Every year, millions of lesser flamingos (
Phoeniconaias minor
) flock to a few small soda lakes in East Africa, attracting as many tourists as do migrating wildebeest. But the bright pink birds’ numbers are falling sharply, a decline researchers have now linked to a paradoxical effect of climate change.
Rainfall in the region is increasing, expanding the lakes, which might suggest the flamingos’ habitat is growing. But the extra water dilutes the nutrients in the lakes, depleting the microbes on which the birds feed, researchers report today in
Current Biology
. So, even as the lakes expand...
