Anàlisi estadística espacial i temporal en epidemiologia
2005
This Ph,D. thesis is presented as a digest of publications. It is composed
of seven articles; five of them
are devoted to the analysis of spatial processes, whereas the remaining
two deal with temporal stochastic
processes. The context of all papers is Epidemiology and Public Health.
In what follows, the reference
and a brief summary are provided for each paper.

Summary: Geographical Information Systems have revealed as a powerful tool
in many areas. In
Epidemiology, they are particularly useful in surveillance tasks via disease
mapping since clusters of
areas of high risk of disease can be quickly detected. However, it is often
necessary querying large
databases as well as using statistical methods to estimate risk in the
set of units that compose the
region of interest. In this chapter we recall the importance of integrating
statistical techniques that
require heavy computation in Geographical Information Systems.

Summary: The statistical detection of environmental risk factors in Public
Health studies is
usually difficult due to the weakness of their effects and their confounding
with other covariates.
