Code for Rapid prototyping for quantifying belief weights of competing hypotheses about emergent diseases
January 19, 2023
Code submitted to Journal of Environmental Management and ScienceBase for running Bayesian hierarchical models on a dataset that was collected using expert elicitation of a panel of 15 experts on the etiology of stony coral tissue loss disease and its impacts on coral reefs. The code is for a rapid prototyping method for quantifying belief weights for competing hypotheses about the etiology of disease using Bayesian hierarchical modeling. The code was developed to narrow down the number of potential hypotheses, synthesize current understanding, and help prioritize future studies and experiments.

Rapid prototyping for quantifying belief weights of competing hypotheses about emergent diseases
Emerging diseases can have devastating consequences for wildlife and require a rapid response. A critical first step towards developing appropriate management is identifying the etiology of the disease, which can be difficult to determine, particularly early in emergence. Gathering and synthesizing existing information about potential disease causes, by leveraging expert knowledge or...
