Estimating Individual-Level Risk in Spatial Epidemiology Using Spatially Aggregated Information on the Population at Risk.
We propose a novel alternative to case-control sampling for the estimation of individual-level risk in spatial epidemiology. Our approach uses weighted estimating equations to estimate regression parameters in the intensity function of an inhomogeneous spatial point process, when information on risk-factors is available at the individual level for cases, but only at a spatially aggregated level...
متن کاملExplaining Individual Response using Aggregated Data
Empirical analysis of individual response behavior is sometimes limited due to the lack of explanatory variables at the individual level. In this paper we put forward a new approach to estimate the effects of covariates on individual response, where the covariates are unknown at the individual level but observed at some aggregated level. This situation may, for example, occur if the response va...

1 The Approximate Solution Curve Tracing (ASCT) Method 1.1 The correct solution space (CSS) Figure 1: The CSS represents the correct solution .space which all of the depth values on the illuminated object are included in. LB is the lower bound of the CSS. All of the depth values on the illuminated object will be not "deeper" than it. UB is the upper boumt of the CSS. All of the depth values on ...
متن کاملUsing a GIS for Real Estate Market Analysis: The Problem of Spatially Aggregated Data
Many databases used for real estate market analysis are not available at the address level. For example, information on employment and unemployment may be available only for labor market areas; and Census data is typically tabulated for blocks or higher levels of spatial aggregation. A Geographic Information System (GIS) associates these spatially aggregated data with the geographical center of...
متن کاملSpatially-Aggregated Temperature Derivatives: Agricultural Risk Management in China
In this paper, a new form of weather derivative contract, namely the climatic zone-based growth degree-day (GDD) contract, is introduced. The objective is to increase the risk management efficiency in the agricultural sector of China and to reduce the model dimension of multi-regional temperature-based weather derivatives pricing. Since the proposed contract serves as a risk management tool for...
