A personal tour on smoothing risk patterns in areal data
Maria Dolores UGARTE, Public University of Navarre
< https://www.unavarra.es/pdi/?uid=387&languageId=1 >

ABSTRACT:

In this seminar, we will explore one of the most compelling applications of areal data: disease mapping. Following a brief historical note, we will introduce the most widely used univariate space-time models in this domain. Subsequently, we will delve into recently developed multivariate models, showcasing an interesting application. In addition (if we have time), we will present a straightforward alternative for analyzing large datasets, encompassing both univariate and multivariatemodels.
