Having worked extensively with healthcare policymakers, the Group has acquired expertise in developing and analyzing healthcare models and in explaining models and modelling to those unfamiliar with it. The overall themes here are modelling in healthcare, data collection and statistical models, and model design and interpretation. Particular topics include the language of modellers, predictions and responses with regression analysis, adjusting risky behavior with psychosocial risk modelling, modelling optimal behavior with game theory and human capital models, modelling social interaction with network models and graph theory, and queuing and traffic models to deal with lines and capacity.
