This workshop will provide an introduction to the analysis of spatially structured data.
It will introduce Spatial Statistics and focus on the analysis of data that vary over a discrete set of indices (areal data) as, for example, the number of registered cases of Covid-19 across the boroughs of Montreal.
At the end of the workshop, participants will have learned how to
> fit conditional auto-regressive (CAR) models;
> fit areal level data using CARBayes in R;
> create disease maps.
Pre-requisites: Knowledge of generalized linear models and R.
Date: Monday, April 11, 2022.
Time: 1PM to 3PM.
Location: online via Zoom.
Instructors: Alexandra Schmidt, Professor of Biostatistics, Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health (EBOH) at McGill University.
