ANNOUNCING:
Disease Mapping with WinBUGS and MLwiN
Andrew B. Lawson, William J. Browne, Carmen L. Vidal Rodeiro
A new book in the Wiley Statistics in Practice series is targetted for a
September
publication date. Advance copies will be available at the ASA JSM in August.
This book is intended to provide an introduction to the use of WinBUGS and
MLwiN
in disease mapping applications. The book features the analysis of count
data with
Poisson and Binomial hierarchical models. Applications include relative
risk estimation,
focussed clustering, ecological analysis, and spatial survival analysis.
Space-time models are also featured. Recent developments using mixtures and
spatially-weighted regression are also reviewed.
It is hoped that the book will appeal not only to academic statisticians
and epidemiologists,
but also to public health professionals who require an introductory text
covering the use
of the packages with a practical guide to applications in disease mapping.
A web site will be available from which datasets, odc files and macros will
be downloadable.
