Spatial statistics

Descripción

Spatial statistics has historically found in biostatistics a privileged field for the application of its theoretical developments. Classic examples are the mapping of diseases or the analysis of the geographical distribution of health indicators in small areas by means of advanced spatial models. The Spatial Statistics Group aims to provide a common framework for researchers of the Network interested in the application of spatial statistical methods to biostatistical problems, fostering interaction, collaboration between geographic nodes and the generation of synergies at the national level.
