Disease mapping and spatial regression with count data.
In this paper, we provide critical reviews of methods suggested for the analysis of aggregate count data in the context of disease mapping and spatial regression. We introduce a new method for picking prior distributions, and propose a number of refinements of previously used models. We also consider ecological bias, mutual standardization, and choice of both spatial model and prior specificati...
متن کاملDisease Mapping and Regression with Count Data in the Presence of Overdispersion and Spatial Autocorrelation: A Bayesian Model Averaging Approach
This paper applies the generalised linear model for modelling geographical variation to esophageal cancer incidence data in the Caspian region of Iran. The data have a complex and hierarchical structure that makes them suitable for hierarchical analysis using Bayesian techniques, but with care required to deal with problems arising from counts of events observed in small geographical areas when...
متن کاملEstimation of Count Data using Bivariate Negative Binomial Regression Models
Abstract Negative binomial regression model (NBR) is a popular approach for modeling overdispersed count data with covariates. Several parameterizations have been performed for NBR, and the two well-known models, negative binomial-1 regression model (NBR-1) and negative binomial-2 regression model (NBR-2), have been applied. Another parameterization of NBR is negative binomial-P regression mode...
متن کاملExploratory disease mapping: kriging the spatial risk function from regional count data
BACKGROUND: There is considerable interest in the literature on disease mapping to interpolate estimates of disease occurrence or risk of disease from a regional database onto a continuous surface. In addition to many interpolation techniques available the geostatistical method of kriging has been used but also criticised. RESULTS: To circumvent these critics one may use kriging along with alre...
متن کاملA Spatial Negative Binomial Regression of Individual-level Count Data with Regional and Person-Specific Covariates
The relationship between conditions in the local environment and individual-level behavior is of general interest to many fields of research. Unfortunately, researchers often encounter situations where individuals’ locations are reported at the region-level, and modeling individual-level outcomes as a function of region-level data introduces the potential for biased estimates. We show analytica...
