Disease Mapping with WinBUGS and MLwiN by Andrew B Lawson

Disease Mapping with WinBUGS and MLwiN by Andrew B Lawson

Disease mapping involves the analysis of geo-referenced disease incidence data and has many applications, for example within resource allocation, cluster alarm analysis, and ecological studies. There is a real need amongst public health workers for simpler and more efficient tools for the analysis of geo-referenced disease incidence data.

"…written at a level that will be readily accessible to anyone with a modest background in applied statistics" (Technometrics, February 2005)

"The book certainly is a nice addition to my disease mapping books. The book is equally useful for the undergraduate and graduate students as well as public health professionals. (E-STREAMS, July 2004)

“…a good guide and a useful addition for any graduate statistician or epidemiologist…” (Statistical Methods in Medical Research, No.13 2004)

"...outlines the models used in statistical disease mapping, and gives details of how the models can be implemented using two packages..." (Short Book Reviews, Vol.24, No.3)

"Readers… will greatly profit from this book" (International Society of Clinical Biostatistics Dec 2005)
