In this tutorial we demonstrate how one can use TKRISK to analyze vaccine response to COVID-19. We create a simple model of contamination and show how vaccine and exposition can jointly affect the probability of being infected.
We review with this example the logic and applicability of Bayesian networks. We are able to closely match the analytical solution thanks to efficient sampling methods including low discrepancy sequences. This is the first of a three parts demo.
