Geographical Detector-Based Spatial Modeling of the COVID-19 Mortality Rate in the Continental United States [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 Investigating the spatial distribution patterns of disease and suspected determinants could help one to understand health risks. This study investigated the potential risk factors associated with COVID-19 mortality in the continental United States. We collected death cases of COVID-19 from 3108 counties from 23 January 2020 to 31 May 2020.

Robust geographical detector [PDF]
International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2022 Geographical detector (GD) is a method to measure spatial associations using a power of determinant (PD) value that compares the variance of data within spatial zones and in the whole study area. Recent studies have implemented GD in diverse fields, such as environmental and socio-economic issues.
