Abstract

The main goal of this project is to consider how to avoid false conclusions from small single-center clinical studies in COVID-19 pandemic. By fusing Bayesian and non-parametric approaches, accurate prognosis with robust assessment of risk uncertainty to guide patient care and societal policies should be achieved.
