Bayesian cluster detection via adjacency modelling.
Disease mapping aims to estimate the spatial pattern in disease risk across an area, identifying units which have elevated disease risk. Existing methods use Bayesian hierarchical models with spatially smooth conditional autoregressive priors to estimate risk, but these methods are unable to identify the geographical extent of spatially contiguous high-risk clusters of areal units. Our proposed...
متن کاملA Bayesian model for cluster detection.
The detection of areas in which the risk of a particular disease is significantly elevated, leading to an excess of cases, is an important enterprise in spatial epidemiology. Various frequentist approaches have been suggested for the detection of "clusters" within a hypothesis testing framework. Unfortunately, these suffer from a number of drawbacks including the difficulty in specifying a p-va...

Taskinen, Ilkka Cluster priors in the Bayesian modelling of fMRI data Jyväskylä: University of Jyväskylä, 2001, 105 p. ISBN 951-39-1059-8 ISSN 1457-8905 Diss. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a scanning technique for revealing haemodynamic changes connected with brain processing on the neuronal level. In neuropsychology, fMRI has been used in designed experiments together with co...
متن کاملLung Nodule Detection Via Bayesian Voxel Labeling
This paper describes a system for detecting pulmonary nodules in CT images. It aims to label individual image voxels in accordance to one of a number of anatomical (pulmonary vessels or junctions), pathological (nodules), or spurious (noise) events. The approach is orthodoxly Bayesian, with particular care taken in the objective establishment of prior probabilities and the incorporation of rele...
متن کاملModelling Decision Problems Via Birkhoff Polyhedra
A compact formulation of the set of tours neither in a graph nor its complement is presented and illustrates a general methodology proposed for constructing polyhedral models of decision problems based upon permutations, projection and lifting techniques. Directed Hamilton tours on n vertex graphs are interpreted as (n-1)- permutations. Sets of extrema of Birkhoff polyhedra are mapped to tours ...
