The goal of this project is to complete a professional, publication-worthy replication of a public health paper.
The paper claims that indirect approaches can introduce bias to under-5 mortality (U5M) estimation in populations affected by HIV/AIDS and their predictive model enables correction of the bias. It is important to us to replicate this paper because its findings can create a substantial impact on public health, especially regarding policies and programs related to the HIV epidemics.
