Disease Mapping (eBook, ePUB)

From Foundations to Multidimensional Modeling

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Guides the reader from the foundations of disease mapping to the most advanced topic in this field - multidimensional modeling. Multidimensional framework makes possible the joint modeling of various risks patterns corresponding to combinations of several factors, such as age group, time period, disease, or sex.

Autorenporträt

Although Miguel A. Martinez-Beneito's background is mostly based in mathematics/statistics his scientific career has been completely linked to Public Health. His first professional job was as statistician in the epidemiology unit of the Valencian regional health authority and all his research from then has been focused on the development of statistical methods for epidemiological studies. His main line of research is disease mapping and its extension to complex settings (multivariate spatial models, spatio-temporal models, spatial survival models, ...) where he has published most of his research papers with either methodological/statistical or applied/epidemiological content. Regardless his peer-reviewed scientific publication Dr. Martinez-Beneito has been involved in several projects entailing the intensive application of disease mapping methods to the study of mortality in different contexts and regions. As a result he is author of 3 spatial atlas of mortality (2 of them corresponding to the Valencian region and another one to big Spanish cities) and 1 spatio-temporal atlas (http://www.geeitema.org/AtlasET/index.jsp?idioma=I). This extensive experience in geographical mortality studies makes Dr. Martinez-Beneito particularly suited to undertake this project.

Paloma Botella-Rocamora's background is based in mathematics/statistics, but her scientific career is mainly linked to statistics within Public Health. Her first scientific job was as part time research internship at the Epidemiology Unit of the Valencian regional health authority working in a project studying rare diseases, where she developed different spatial atlases of morbidity for rare diseases. During those years she also participated in the development of a spatial mortality atlas in the Valencian region, and a spatio-temporal mortality atlas in this same region (http://www.geeitema.org/AtlasET/index.jsp?idioma=I). She has also been the first author of the Spanish spatial atlas of rare diseases. She shared those jobs with her classes as part time associate professor at the University of Valencia and CEU-Cardenal Herrera University, where she already continues working as full time professor. Her teaching scope has always been linked to biostatistics in Health Sciences.

Following the topic of his doctoral thesis, Paloma Botella Rocamora's main line of research is disease mapping where she has published most of her research papers with either methodological/statistical or applied content. She has started to work in her recent scientific stay at the University of Minnesota (2013 summer) in the extension of disease mapping models to complex settings (multivariate spatial models, spatio-temporal models, ...). This extensive experience in geographical mortality studies makes Dr. Botella-Rocamora particularly suited to undertake this project
