Mixture-based Nonparametric Estimation of Spatial Covariance Functions with Applications to HIV Key Population Size Estimation across Sub-Saharan Africa

Consistent data on the sizes of key populations, such as female sex workers (FSWs), are often scarce, particularly at the sub-national level. Accurate size estimates are critical to effectively allocate resources and achieve HIV targets. Since FSW population sizes may be spatially correlated across areas, models that a...
