The geographical representation of the occurrence of a disease and investigation of the relationship between risk of disease and environmental factors are important topics in the analysis of public health. The objective of this course is to give an introduction to the theory and practice of spatial data analysis in the context of disease mapping, geostatistical data and point pattern analysis. The student acquires knowledgde about spatial data modeling. The student can apply these to real data problems, using R and INLA.
Topics:
Part 1: Introduction
- Types of Spatial Data
- INLA
Part 2: Disease Mapping
- Moran's I
- Spatial autoregressive models (CAR, BYM, Leroux, BYM2)
- Spatio-temporal modeling
Part 3: Geostatistical Modelling
- Kriging
- Model-based geostatistics
- SPDE
Part 4: Point Pattern Analysis
- F, G, K-functions
- LGCP models
- Preferential sampling
