Guides the reader from the foundations of disease mapping to the most advanced topic in this field - multidimensional modeling. Multidimensional framework makes possible the joint modeling of various risks patterns corresponding to combinations of several factors, such as age group, time period, disease, or sex.

Recenzje

"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."
