Explore Disease Mapping of Hepatitis B Using Geostatistical Analysis Techniques

چکیده
This paper presents the application of Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) and Kriging from GIS (ArcGIS8.3) in disease mapping through the analysis of hepatitis B in China. The research shows that geostatistical analysis techniques such as Kriging and ESDA have a good effect in disease mapping. Kriging methods can express properly the spatial correlation. Furthermore, unlike model-based methods, which largely depend on assumption for disease data, the Kriging method is more robust for the data. So it can be used more widely and is more operational. What’s more, the Kriging method may be adapted to interpolate nonstationary spatial structure. This can expand its application more largely. At last, the Kriging method can estimate the uncertainty of prediction while many deterministic methods cannot do so. In conclusion, it is an effective operational procedure to gain a deep insight into the disease data through ESDA before mapping disease using the Kriging method.

Extended abstract 1- Introduction Soil salinity is one of the most important desertification parameters in many parts of the world. Thus, preparing soil salinity maps in macro scales is necessary. Water and soil salinity as one of the contributing parameters in desertification, cause soil and vegetation degradation. Soil salinization represents many negative effects on the earth systems such ...

During recent years, oak decline has been widely spread across Brant’s oak (Quercus Brantii Lindl.) stands in the Zagros Mountains, Western Iran, which caused large-area forest dieback in several sites. Mapping the intensity and spatial distribution of forest dieback is essential for developing management and control strategies. This study evaluated a range of geostatistical and interpolation m...
