This book supplies the reader with an array of tools and skills so that maps may be produced and correctly interpreted, and also describes the role of disease mapping within epidemiology, highlighting its important role in studies of environmental health and environmental epidemiology. It provides:* An introduction to new developments in disease mapping* Comprehensive coverage of an active area of research and development* Numerous case studies to highlight the application of the techniques discussedThis text will be invaluable to anyone with an interest in disease mapping, and is an essential volume for both the specialist and the non-specialist. It is of particular relevance to epidemiologists, medical statisticians, geographers, and public health advisors, as well as environmental health workers, occupational health physicians, and infectious disease specialists.GeographyInvestigative TechniquesStatistics as TopicPublic HealthEnvironment and Public HealthEarth SciencesHealth Care Evaluation MechanismsHealth CareQuality of Health CareNatural Science DisciplinesHealth Care Quality, Access, and EvaluationCluster AnalysisEpidemiologic MethodsTopography, MedicalPublic HealthHILCCHealth & Biological SciencesHILCCMedical GeographyHILCCElectronic books.GeographyInvestigative TechniquesStatistics as TopicPublic HealthEnvironment and Public HealthEarth SciencesHealth Care Evaluation MechanismsHealth CareQuality of Health CareNatural Science DisciplinesHealth Care Quality, Access, and EvaluationCluster AnalysisEpidemiologic MethodsTopography, MedicalPublic HealthHealth & Biological SciencesMedical Geography614.42Lawson Andrew149118Williams FionaPQKBBOOK9910134841603321An introductory guide to disease mapping2042571UNINA
