FINAL REMINDER: Bayesian Disease Mapping (BDM) courses: University of Edinburgh July 11th - 15th 2016

[Andrew Lawson]

FINAL REMINDER

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 July 11th - July 15th 2016**

*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 IBDM course will run on July 11th- JUly12th, the BDMI course will run on July 13th
and the ABDM course will run on July 14th - 15th 2016.

The BDMI course provides a hands-on introduction to spatial health modeling with INLA,
while more advanced INLA examples are included in the ABDM 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. In particular, the 2nd Edition (2013) of the volume
*Bayesian Disease Mapping* will be a course text for the IBDM course,
and is included in the IBDM course fee.
