Ecological boundary detection using Bayesian areal wombling.
The study of ecological boundaries and their dynamics is of fundamental importance to much of ecology, biogeography, and evolution. Over the past two decades, boundary analysis (of which wombling is a subfield) has received considerable research attention, resulting in multiple approaches for the quantification of ecological boundaries. Nonetheless, few methods have been developed that can simu...

متن کاملBayesian areal wombling using false discovery rates
Spatial data arising in public health services are often reported as case counts or rates aggregated over areal regions (e.g. counties, census-tracts or ZIP codes), rather than being referenced with respect to the geographical coordinates of individual residences. For such areal data, subsequent inferential interest often resides in the formal identification of “barriers”, or “difference bounda...
متن کاملBayesian Multivariate Areal Wombling for Multiple Disease Boundary Analysis
Multivariate data summarized over areal units (counties, zip codes, etc.) are common in the field of public health. Estimation or testing of geographic boundaries for such data may have varied goals. For example, for data on multiple disease outcomes, we may be interested in a single set of “composite” boundaries for all diseases, separate boundaries for each disease, or both. Different areal w...
متن کاملUN CO RR EC TE D PR OO F Bayesian Areal Wombling for Geographical Boundary Analysis
In the analysis of spatially referenced data, interest often focuses not on prediction of the spatially indexed variable itself, but on boundary analysis, that is, the determination of boundaries on the map that separate areas of higher and lower values. Existing boundary analysis methods are sometimes generically referred to as wombling, after a foundational article by Womble (1951). When data...
