Praise for the Previous EditionThis book provides a technical grounding in spatial models while maintaining a strong grasp on applied epidemiological problems. ... A welcome effort is made to clarify concepts which might, in other texts, have been skimmed over in a rush to fit m…
This work provides an overview of the main areas of Bayesian hierarchical modeling and its application to the geographical analysis of disease. It explores a range of topics in Bayesian inference and modeling, including Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, Gibbs sampling, the Metro…
Since the publication of the first edition, many new Bayesian tools and methods have been developed for space-time data analysis, the predictive modeling of health outcomes, and other spatial biostatistical areas. Exploring these new developments, Bayesian Disease Mapping: Hiera…
