A few places still
remain for
Bayesian Disease Mapping (BDM):
Introduction to Bayesian Disease Mapping (IBDM) (2 day)
Bayesian Disease Mapping with INLA (BDMI) (1 day)
Advanced Bayesian Disease Mapping (ABDM) (2 day)
**University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK June 5th -
June 9th 2017**
*Course content*
These courses are designed to provide a comprehensive
introduction to the area of
Bayesian disease mapping in applications to Public Health and
Epidemiology:
The Introductory course (Part I) will run on June 5th- June 6th,
the BDMI course will run on June 7th
and the advanced course (Part II) will run on June 8th - June
9th 2017.
The BDMI course provides a hands-on introduction to spatial
health modeling with INLA,
while more advanced INLA examples are included in the advanced
course.
Both spatial and spatio-temporal analyses using WinBUGS and INLA
will be considered.
Examples will range over childhood asthma data from Georgia,
influenza in South Carolina,
foot-and-mouth disease in the UK and Ohio respiratory cancer.
*The speaker*
Professor Andrew B. Lawson (Department of Public Health
Sciences, College of Medicine,
Medical University of South Carolina) is a World Health
Organization (WHO) advisor
on Disease Mapping and organized with the WHO an International
workshop on this topic
which has led to an edited volume “Disease Mapping and Risk
Assessment for Public Health”.
He has published a number of books focused on disease mapping
and
spatial epidemiology. Most recently, acted as chief editor of
the CRC press Handbook of Spatial Epidemiology (2016).
The 2nd Edition (2013) of the volume *Bayesian Disease Mapping*
will be a course text for the introductory course,
and is included in the IBDM course fee.
