Methodologic research needs in environmental epidemiology: data analysis.
A brief review is given of data analysis methods for the identification and quantification of associations between environmental exposures and health events of interest. Data analysis methods are outlined for each of the study designs mentioned, with an emphasis on topics in need of further research. Particularly noted are the need for improved methods for accommodating exposure assessment meas...

متن کاملDatabase System Support for Multidimensional Data Analysis in Environmental Epidemiology
The project CARLOS (Cancer Registry Lower-Saxony) aims at novel techniques for analysing cancer clusters using advanced database technology to support multidimensional analysis of spatio-temporal related health data. This requires very advanced support capabilities which can not be provided by existing technology. Therefore, new approaches in the fields of spatio-temporal, multidimensional and ...
متن کاملMethodologic Issues and Approaches to Spatial Epidemiology
Spatial epidemiology is increasingly being used to assess health risks associated with environmental hazards. Risk patterns tend to have both a temporal and a spatial component; thus, spatial epidemiology must combine methods from epidemiology, statistics, and geographic information science. Recent statistical advances in spatial epidemiology include the use of smoothing in risk maps to create ...
