Thank you for clustering: Reducing the cost of wildlife disease science

An interdisciplinary team of wildlife professionals and statisticians recently discovered that we can leverage correlation in disease among free-ranging wildlife to dramatically reduce the sample sizes needed to study disease prevalence at the population scale. We programmed a Shiny app to compute sample sizes given the unique clustering tendencies any wildlife species of interest: https://cwhl2.shinyapps.io/SimpleSampleSizeApp/ We demonstrate the app using…
