mapping spatial variation of disease using classic and bayesian models
abstract disease mapping includes a set of statistical techniques that lead to provide clean maps based on estimation of the incidence, prevalence and mortality rates for the users to be able to estimate the distribution of disease reliably. the main aims of disease mapping are to: describe the spatial variation in disease incidence for the formulation of etiological hypotheses; identify area...
متن کاملDisease mapping and spatial regression with count data.
In this paper, we provide critical reviews of methods suggested for the analysis of aggregate count data in the context of disease mapping and spatial regression. We introduce a new method for picking prior distributions, and propose a number of refinements of previously used models. We also consider ecological bias, mutual standardization, and choice of both spatial model and prior specificati...
متن کاملExploring dependence with data on spatial lattices.
The application of Markov random field models to problems involving spatial data on lattice systems requires decisions regarding a number of important aspects of model structure. Existing exploratory techniques appropriate for spatial data do not provide direct guidance to an investigator about these decisions. We introduce an exploratory quantity that is directly tied to the structure of Marko...
متن کاملMeasuring Spatial Dependence for Infectious Disease Epidemiology
Global spatial clustering is the tendency of points, here cases of infectious disease, to occur closer together than expected by chance. The extent of global clustering can provide a window into the spatial scale of disease transmission, thereby providing insights into the mechanism of spread, and informing optimal surveillance and control. Here the authors present an interpretable measure of s...
متن کاملRegularized autoregressive model preserving spatial discontinuities for
Cet article traite de l’estimation spectrale locale à partir de signaux radio-fréquence obtenus en imagerie medicale par échographie ultrasonore. Du fait de la nature particulière des signaux RF (signaux aléatoires fortement bruités et nonstationnaires et présence de plusieurs milieux tissulaires), l’objectif principal est de régulariser l’estimation paramétrique locale tout en préservant d’éve...
