Correlated gamma process prior for Bayesian mapping disease
نویسنده
چکیده
Riassunto: Si propone un modello gerarchico Bayesiano a due stadi per l’analisi geografica del rischio relativo di malattia. Al primo livello si assume che il numero osservato di casi della malattia d’interesse si distribuisca in accordo a una distribuzione di Poisson, con valore atteso il prodotto tra il rischio relativo specifico per area e il numero atteso di casi sotto ipotesi di omogeneità. Al secondo livello, si assume che il rischio relativo specifico per area si distribuisca in accordo a una distribuzione Gamma, il cui valore atteso risulta la media dei rischi relativi delle regioni confinanti. L’aspetto innovativo della metodologia proposta è l’introduzione di due processi latenti che controllano il grado di correlazione tra rischi relativi di regioni adiacenti e permettono un’analisi del grado di dipendenza tra la diffusione di malattia.

Assessment of Neonate's Congenital Hypothyroidism Pattern Using Poisson Spatio-temporal Model in Disease Mapping under the Bayesian Paradigm during 2011-18 in Guilan, Iran
Background: Congenital Hypothyroidism (CH) is one of the reasons for mental retardation and defective growth in neonates. It can be treated if it is diagnosed early. The congenital hypothyroidism can be diagnosed using newborn screening in the first days after birth. Disease mapping helps to identify high-risk areas of the disease. This study aimed to evaluate the pattern of CH using the Poisso...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Shift Point in Shape Parameter of Inverse Gaussian Distribution Under Different Loss Functions
In this paper, a Bayesian approach is proposed for shift point detection in an inverse Gaussian distribution. In this study, the mean parameter of inverse Gaussian distribution is assumed to be constant and shift points in shape parameter is considered. First the posterior distribution of shape parameter is obtained. Then the Bayes estimators are derived under a class of priors and using variou...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of the Multiple Change Points in Gamma Process Using X-bar chart
The process personnel always seek the opportunity to improve the processes. One of the essential steps for process improvement is to quickly recognize the starting time or the change point of a process disturbance. Different from the traditional normally distributed assumption for a process, this study considers a process which follows a gamma process. In addition, we consider the possibility o...
متن کاملA hierarchical Bayesian approach to multiple testing in disease mapping
We propose a Bayesian approach to multiple testing in disease mapping. This study was motivated by a real example regarding the mortality rate for lung cancer, males, in the Tuscan region (Italy). The data are relative to the period 1995-1999 for 287 municipalities. We develop a tri-level hierarchical Bayesian model to estimate for each area the posterior classification probability that is the ...
متن کاملA Bayesian approach for image denoising in MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a notable medical imaging technique that is based on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). MRI is a safe imaging method with high contrast between soft tissues, which made it the most popular imaging technique in clinical applications. MR Imagechr('39')s visual quality plays a vital role in medical diagnostics that can be severely corrupted by existing noise duri...
متن کاملIntroducing of Dirichlet process prior in the Nonparametric Bayesian models frame work
Statistical models are utilized to learn about the mechanism that the data are generating from it. Often it is assumed that the random variables y_i,i=1,…,n ,are samples from the probability distribution F which is belong to a parametric distributions class. However, in practice, a parametric model may be inappropriate to describe the data. In this settings, the parametric assumption could be r...
