Joint quantile disease mapping with application to malaria and G6PD deficiency [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Statistical analysis based on quantile methods is more comprehensive, flexible and less sensitive to outliers when compared to mean methods. Joint disease mapping is useful for inferring correlation between different diseases.

Prioritising Infectious Disease Mapping [PDF]

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
Increasing volumes of data and computational capacity afford unprecedented opportunities to scale up infectious disease (ID) mapping for public health uses. Whilst a large number of IDs show global spatial variation, comprehensive knowledge of these geographic patterns is poor.

Assessment of Neonate's Congenital Hypothyroidism Pattern Using Poisson Spatio-temporal Model in Disease Mapping under the Bayesian Paradigm during 2011-18 in Guilan, Iran [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Neonatology, 2020
Background: Congenital Hypothyroidism (CH) is one of the reasons for mental retardation and defective growth in neonates. It can be treated if it is diagnosed early. The congenital hypothyroidism can be diagnosed using newborn screening in the first days
