Identifying clusters in Bayesian disease mapping.
Disease mapping is the field of spatial epidemiology interested in estimating the spatial pattern in disease risk across [Formula: see text] areal units. One aim is to identify units exhibiting elevated disease risks, so that public health interventions can be made. Bayesian hierarchical models with a spatially smooth conditional autoregressive prior are used for this purpose, but they cannot i...
متن کاملmapping 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 کاملSpline smoothing in Bayesian disease mapping
In this paper, a class of Bayesian hierarchical disease mapping models with spline smoothing are motivated and developed for sequential disease mapping and for surveillance of disease risk trends and clustering. The methodological development aims to provide reliable information about the patterns (both over space and time) of disease risk and to quantify uncertainty. Bayesian disease mapping m...
متن کاملBayesian detection of clusters and discontinuities in disease maps.
An interesting epidemiological problem is the analysis of geographical variation in rates of disease incidence or mortality. One goal of such an analysis is to detect clusters of elevated (or lowered) risk in order to identify unknown risk factors regarding the disease. We propose a nonparametric Bayesian approach for the detection of such clusters based on Green's (1995, Biometrika 82, 711-732...
متن کاملSubclass Mapping: Identifying Common Subtypes in Independent Disease Data Sets
Whole genome expression profiles are widely used to discover molecular subtypes of diseases. A remaining challenge is to identify the correspondence or commonality of subtypes found in multiple, independent data sets generated on various platforms. While model-based supervised learning is often used to make these connections, the models can be biased to the training data set and thus miss inher...
