| Description: | Geographic analysis of epidemiologic data may be useful in modeling risk as a function of covariates that vary geographically, testing hypotheses, mapping disease patterns, identifying areas of high risk, or detecting clusters. Distinctions are drawn between case dependence and independence (the latter not requiring a spatially correlated error structure) and between areal and continuous data. Various models and methods are described, and attention is paid to disease mapping (involving data smoothing) and clustering. |
