A Zero-Inflated Spatial Gamma Process Model With Applications to Disease Mapping
2013-06-01
Abstract excerpt
In this paper, we introduce a novel discrete Gamma Markov random field (MRF) prior for modeling spatial relations among regions in geo-referenced health data. Our proposition is incorporated into a generalized linear mixed model zero-inflated (ZI) framework that accounts for excess zeroes not explained by usual parametric (Poisson or Negative Binomial) assumptions. The ZI framework categorizes subjects into low-ri...
