β¦ Synopsis
Spatial epidemiology is the description and analysis of the geographical distribution of disease. It is more important now than ever, with modern threats such as bio-terrorism making such analysis even more complex. This second edition of Statistical Methods in Spatial Epidemiology is updated and expanded to offer a complete coverage of the analysis and application of spatial statistical methods. The book is divided into two main sections: Part 1 introduces basic definitions and terminology, along with map construction and some basic models. This is expanded upon in Part II by applying this knowledge to the fundamental problems within spatial epidemiology, such as disease mapping, ecological analysis, disease clustering, bio-terrorism, space-time analysis, surveillance and infectious disease modelling.
- Β Provides a comprehensive overview of the main statistical methods used in spatial epidemiology.
- Updated to include a new emphasis on bio-terrorism and disease surveillance.
- Emphasizes the importance of space-time modelling and outlines the practical application of the method.
- Discusses the wide range of software available for analyzing spatial data, including WinBUGS, SaTScan and R, and features an accompanying website hosting related software.
- Contains numerous data sets, each representing a different approach to the analysis, and provides an insight into various modelling techniques.
This text is primarily aimed at medical statisticians, researchers and practitioners from public health and epidemiology. It is also suitable for postgraduate students of statistics and epidemiology, as well professionals working in government agencies

I bought this book for a survey course I am sitting in so as to learn genetics. This book does comprehensively review the subject and its literature, but it lacks so much as one completed example problem. Statistics is, after all, about getting the numbers right. I think this is the first time I'v

Environmental epidemiology is the study of the environmental causes of disease in populations and how these risks vary in relation to intensity and duration of exposure and other factors like genetic susceptibility. As such, it is the basic science upon which governmental safety standards and compen
