Disease Mapping: From Foundations to Multidimensional Modeling

guides the reader from the basics of disease mapping to the most advanced topics in this field. A multidimensional framework is offered that makes possible the joint modeling of several risks patterns corresponding to combinations of several factors, including age group, time period, disease, etc. Although theory will be covered, the applied component will be equally as important with lots of practical examples offered.

Features:

Discusses the very latest developments on multivariate and multidimensional mapping.

Gives a single state-of-the-art framework that unifies most of the previously proposed disease mapping approaches.

Balances epidemiological and statistical points-of-view.

Requires no previous knowledge of disease mapping.

Includes practical sessions at the end of each chapter with WinBUGs/INLA and real world datasets.

Supplies R code for the examples in the book so that they can be reproduced by the reader.

About the Authors:
Miguel A. Martinez Beneito

has spent his whole career working as a statistician for public health services, first at the epidemiology unit of the Valencia (Spain) regional health administration and later as a researcher at the public health division of FISABIO, a regional bio-sanitary research center. He has been also the Bayesian Hierarchical Models professor for several seasons at the University of Valencia Biostatics Master.

Paloma Botella Rocamora

has spent most of her professional career in academia although she now works as a statistician for the epidemiology unit of the Valencia regional health administration. Most of her research has been devoted to developing and applying disease mapping models to real data, although her work as a statistician in an epidemiology unit makes her develop and apply statistical methods to health data, in general.

Industry Reviews

"Disease mapping, i.e. the study of the geographical distribution of diseases, is an important emerging tool not only for better understanding public health issues but also for deriving important clues for public health policy planners. This book is an effort by statisticians working as public health practitioners, whose careers have evolved surrounded by geographically referenced health data, to address issues related to this tool appropriately...As a great novelty of the book, the online material may enable readers to have direct access to most of the statistical/computing details that there is not enough room to fully explain within the book... In my opinion, researchers working in the area of population and public health in particular may find this book as a useful source to ensure optimal use of disease mapping. Further, since this book includes a fair number of examples, teachers of graduate-level courses on this topic may also find this book useful."
