It is more important now than ever, with modern threats such as bio-terrorism making such analysis even more complex. This second edition of \u003ci\u003eStatistical Methods in Spatial Epidemiology\u003c\/i\u003e is updated and expanded to offer a complete coverage of the analysis and application of spatial statistical methods. The book is divided into two main sections: Part 1 introduces basic definitions and terminology, along with map construction and some basic models. This is expanded upon in Part II by applying this knowledge to the fundamental problems within spatial epidemiology, such as \u003ci\u003edisease mapping\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eecological analysis\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003edisease clustering\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ebio-terrorism\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003espace-time analysis\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003esurveillance\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003einfectious disease modelling\u003c\/i\u003e.  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Provides a comprehensive overview of the main statistical methods used in spatial epidemiology.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUpdated to include a new emphasis on bio-terrorism and disease surveillance.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmphasizes the importance of space-time modelling and outlines the practical application of the method.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses the wide range of software available for analyzing spatial data, including WinBUGS, SaTScan and R, and features an accompanying website hosting related software.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains numerous data sets, each representing a different approach to the analysis, and provides an insight into various modelling techniques.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis text is primarily aimed at medical statisticians, researchers and practitioners from public health and epidemiology.
