Presenter(s) Cory McCartan
Description
  • ​​​​​​​This webinar introduces a new method for estimating group-level outcomes when only summarized data, such as regional averages, is available. McCarten will discuss how common approaches rely on overly strong assumptions and will present a more flexible, machine learning–based alternative. Using simulations and real-world examples, McCarten will show how this method improves accuracy, allows researchers to test key assumptions, and provides reliable estimates even with complex data. Open-source tools will be shared so attendees can apply the approach in their own work.
