Joint quantile disease mapping with application to malaria and G6PD deficiency [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceStatistical 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.

Small area disease mapping of cancer incidence in British Columbia using Bayesian spatial models and the smallareamapp R Package [PDF]
Frontiers in Oncology, 2022 IntroductionThere is an increasing interest in small area analyses in cancer surveillance; however, technical capacity is limited and accessible analytical approaches remain to be determined.

Global mapping of infectious disease [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2013 The primary aim of this review was to evaluate the state of knowledge of the geographical distribution of all infectious diseases of clinical significance to humans. A systematic review was conducted to enumerate cartographic progress, with respect to the data available for mapping and the methods currently applied.

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.

CoRR, 2016 Medical researchers are coming to appreciate that many diseases are in fact complex, heterogeneous syndromes composed of subpopulations that express different variants of a related complication. Time series data extracted from individual electronic health records (EHR) offer an exciting new way to study subtle differences in the way these diseases ...

Genetic association mapping via evolution-based clustering of haplotypes. [PDF]
, 2007 Multilocus analysis of single nucleotide polymorphism haplotypes is a promising approach to dissecting the genetic basis of complex diseases. We propose a coalescent-based model for association mapping that potentially increases the power to detect ...

Spatio-Temporal Spread Pattern of COVID-19 in Italy
Mathematics, 2021 This paper investigates the spatio-temporal spread pattern of COVID-19 in Italy, during the first wave of infections, from February to October 2020. Disease mappings of the virus infections by using the Besag–York–Mollié model and some spatio-temporal ...

Mapping genes through the use of linkage disequilibrium generated by genetic drift: 'Drift mapping' in small populations with no demographic expansion [PDF]
, 1998 Linkage disequilibrium has been a powerful tool in identifying rare disease alleles in human populations. To date, most research has been directed to isolated populations which have undergone a bottleneck followed by rapid exponential expansion.
