Modeling COVID-19 vaccination from a statistical perspective
In this post, I propose a statistical model that reproduces the evolution of the ongoing COVID-19 vaccination campaign in specific countries. With this model, users can test the effects of different vaccine production and delivery rates, the segmentation of the population into pro- and anti-vaccines, and the impact of social pressure on non-vaccinated people. We discuss some of the insights that the model is able to provide and some directions for future work that leverage the model capabilities.

ADMiniSter (“Ascii Data Minimalist management Suite”) is an open-source Python package that provides a collection of tools to manage plain-text files storing numerical data. The origins of this package are some of the tools, code snippets, approaches, etc., that I have needed or found helpful time and again over the years when dealing with numerical data stored in plain-text files.
