Statistical Methods in Spatial Epidemiology (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics)

Andrew B. Lawson

Wiley, 2006

Great book very bad writing
This is a truly great book on this subject, but it is obvious that the text is mostly transcribed lecture or lab notes. The writing is so bad (run on and fragments) that the publisher should have caught this, and should provide all of us who purchased the book a free ...

Spatial Cluster Modelling (Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability)

Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2002

Research has generated a number of advances in methods for spatial cluster modelling in recent years, particularly in the area of Bayesian cluster modelling. Along with these advances has come an explosion of interest in the potential applications of this work, especially in epidemiology and genome research. In one integrated volume, this book ...

Spatial and Syndromic Surveillance for Public Health
