Provides an overview of the current key methods in spatial surveillance of public health data.
Includes coverage of both single and multiple disease surveillance.
Covers all of the key topics, including syndromic surveillance, spatial cluster detection, and Bayesian data mining.
Andrew Lawson, Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, University of South Carolina, USA Andrew has published many papers in leading journals, and a number of books on spatial statistics, including four for Wiley. Ken Kleinman, Department of Ambulatory Care and Prevention, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA Ken is an epidemiologist who specializes in disease surveillance, and has recently worked on projects modeling the spread of anthrax following a potential terrorist attack.
