An Introduction to Spatial Statistics with Applications in Disease Mapping

Please join us for a webinar where we will provide an introduction to the analysis of spatially structured data. This webinar organized by SWB and The Committee on International Relations in Statistics (CIRS) will introduce spatial statistics and focus on the analysis of data that vary over a discrete set of indices (areal data).

Speaker: Dr. Alexandra M. Schmidt, McGill University, Canada

At the end of the webinar, you will learn how to: 

  • Fit conditional auto-regressive (CAR) models
  • Fit areal level data using CARBayes in R
  • Create disease maps
