Some places remain on BDM courses:

Introduction to Bayesian Disease Mapping (IBDM)
Bayesian Disease Mapping with INLA (BDMI)
Advanced Bayesian Disease Mapping (ABDM)
**University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK June 29th - July 3rd 2015**

*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 June29rd -30th, the BDMI course will run on July 1st
and the ABDM course will run on July 2nd -3rd 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 (2013) of the volume
*Bayesian Disease Mapping* will be a course text for the IBDM course,
and is included in the IBDM course fee.
