Multivariate scan statistics for disease surveillance.
In disease surveillance, there are often many different data sets or data groupings for which we wish to do surveillance. If each data set is analysed separately rather than combined, the statistical power to detect an outbreak that is present in all data sets may suffer due to low numbers in each. On the other hand, if the data sets are added by taking the sum of the counts, then a signal that...
متن کاملMultivariate Lattice Models for Spatial Environmental Data
Environmental problems often include data that are not only spatial in nature, but also multidimensional with several measurements recorded at each spatial location. One example is the assessment of environmental equity. Figure 1 show maps of St. James Parish, Louisiana, with counts of whites and minorities for each of the twenty census block groups overlaid with the location of the facilities ...
متن کاملA Spatial Model for Multivariate Lattice Data
In this article, we develop Markov random field models for multivariate lattice data. Specific attention is given to building models that incorporate general forms of the spatial correlations and cross-correlations between variables at different sites. The methodology is applied to the problem of environmental equity. Using a Bayesian hierarchical model that is multivariate in form, we examine ...
متن کاملHierarchical Modelling for Multivariate Spatial Data
Point-referenced spatial data often come as multivariate measurements at each location. Examples: Environmental monitoring: stations yield measurements on ozone, NO, CO, and PM2.5. Community ecology: assembiages of plant species due to water availibility, temerature, and light requirements. Forestry: measurements of stand characteristics age, total biomass, and average tree diameter. Atmospheri...
متن کاملStatistical Analysis of Multivariate Infectious Disease Surveillance Time Series
To meet the threats of infectious diseases, many countries have established surveillance systems for the routine collection of infectious disease data. The analysis and modelling such notification data is essential in the attempt to control and prevent disease. In this thesis, statistical methodology for the analysis of multivariate time series of counts as collected in surveillance systems on ...
