Berger, Ursula; Kauermann, Goeran and Küchenhoff, Helmut (2022): Discussion on On the role of data, statistics and decisions in a pandemic. In: Asta-Advances in Statistical Analysis, Vol. 106, No. 3: pp. 387-390

Abstract

The authors make an important contribution presenting a comprehensive and thoughtful overview about the many different aspects of data, statistics and data analyses in times of the recent COVID-19 pandemic discussing all relevant topics. The paper certainly provides a very valuable reflection of what has been done, what could have been done and what needs to be done. We contribute here with a few comments and some additional issues. We do not discuss all chapters of Jahn et al. (AStA Adv Stat Anal, 2022. 10.1007/s10182-022-00439-7), but focus on those where our personal views and experiences might add some additional aspects.
