America was unprepared for the magnitude of the pandemic, which overwhelmed many counties and filled some hospitals to capacity. A new paper in PNAS suggests there may have been a mathematical method, ...

We test the robustness of a method for estimating abundance that assumes that the underlying distribution of the nonzero observations is lognormal (Pennington, 1983, Biometrics 39, 281-286).

We develop asymptotic approximations for the tail probabilities of integrals of lognormal random fields. We consider the asymptotic regime that the variance of the random field converges to zero.
