Spatial surveillance systems are used to detect changes in public health data, and alert us to possible outbreaks of disease, either from natural resources or from bioterrorism attacks. Statistical methods play a key role in spatial surveillance, as they are used to identify changes in data, and build models of that data in order to make predictions about future activity.  \u003cp\u003eThis book is the first to provide an overview of all the current key methods in spatial surveillance, and present them in an accessible form, suitable for the public health professional. It features an abundance of examples using real data, highlighting the practical application of the methodology. It is edited and authored by leading researchers and practitioners in spatial surveillance methods.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides an overview of the current key methods in spatial surveillance of public health data.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes coverage of both single and multiple disease surveillance.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers all of the key topics, including syndromic surveillance, spatial cluster detection, and Bayesian data mining.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndrew Lawson, Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, University of South Carolina, USA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndrew has published many papers in leading journals, and a number of books on spatial statistics, including four for Wiley. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKen Kleinman, Department of Ambulatory Care and Prevention, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKen is an epidemiologist who specializes in disease surveillance, and has recently worked on projects modeling the spread of anthrax following a potential terrorist attack. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 May 2005\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780470092484\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e288\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44310573219980,"sku":"9780470092484","price":142.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470092484.jpg?v=1780193535","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780470092484","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
