Announcing new course offerings:
Introduction to Bayesian Disease Mapping (IBDM)
Bayesian Disease Mapping with INLA (BDMI)
Advanced Bayesian Disease Mapping (ABDM)
**Offering of Introductory and Advanced BDM courses and BDM with
INLA at University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland UK June 23rd -
27th 2014**
*Course
content*
These courses are designed to provide a comprehensive introduction
to the area of
Bayesian disease mapping in applications to Public Health and
Epidemiology:
The IBDM course will run on June23rd -24th, the BDMI course will run
on June 25th
and the ABDM course will run on June 26th -27th 2014.
The BDMI course provides a hands-on introduction to spatial health
modeling with INLA,
while more advanced INLA examples are included in the ABDM course.
Both spatial and spatio-temporal analyses using WinBUGS and INLA
will be considered.
Examples will range over childhood asthma data from Georgia,
influenza in South Carolina,
foot-and-mouth disease in the UK and Ohio respiratory cancer.
*The
speaker*
Professor Andrew B. Lawson (Department of Public Health Sciences,
College of Medicine,
Medical University of South Carolina) is a World Health Organization
(WHO) advisor
on Disease Mapping and organized with the WHO an International
workshop on this topic which has led to an edited volume
“Disease Mapping and Risk Assessment for Public Health”.
He has published a number of books focused on disease mapping and
spatial epidemiology. In particular, the 2nd Edition of the volume
*Bayesian
Disease Mapping* will be a
course text for the IBDM course,
and is included in the IBDM course fee.
