    This study presents a statistical method for estimating disease frequency, including incidence and prevalence, using population samples. The approach is valuable for resource-limited settings, often requiring only one investigator.

    Area of Science:

    • Epidemiology
    • Biostatistics

    Background:

    • Estimating disease frequency is crucial for public health surveillance.
    • Resource limitations often hinder comprehensive population studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a statistical method for estimating disease frequency using population samples.
    • To provide a technique for calculating incidence and prevalence credibility intervals.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a statistical theory for disease frequency estimation.
    • Application of sampling techniques for case collection.
    • Calculation of credibility intervals for incidence and prevalence.

    Main Results:

    • A method is established for estimating disease frequency from population samples.

  • Credibility intervals can be calculated for both complete case collections and representative samples.
  • The sampling technique is effective even with limited financial and manpower resources.

    • Conclusions:

    • The proposed method enables accurate disease frequency estimation in resource-constrained environments.
    • A single professional investigator can achieve satisfactory results using this technique.
    • This approach enhances the feasibility of epidemiological studies in diverse settings.
