There is a real need amongst public health workers for simpler and more efficient tools for the analysis of geo-referenced disease incidence data. Bayesian and multilevel methods provide the required efficiency, and with the emergence of software packages – such as WinBUGS and MLwiN – are now easy to implement in practice.   *Provides an introduction to Bayesian and multilevel modelling in disease mapping. *Adopts a practical approach, with many detailed worked examples. *Includes introductory material on WinBUGS and MLwiN. *Discusses three applications in detail – relative risk estimation, focused clustering, and ecological analysis. *Suitable for public health workers and epidemiologists with a sound statistical knowledge. *Supported by a Website featuring data sets and WinBUGS and MLwiN programs.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDisease Mapping with WinBUGS and MLwiN\u003c\/i\u003e  provides a practical introduction to the use of software for disease mapping for researchers, practitioners and graduate students from statistics, public health and epidemiology who analyse disease incidence data.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45202298503319,"sku":"9780470856048","price":11351.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780470856048.webp?v=1767307734","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/disease-mapping-with-winbugs-and-mlwin-9780470856048","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
