Bayesian Hierarchical Disease Modeling and Mapping of Tuberculosis

Bayesian disease modeling and mapping provides a practical guide to application of Bayesian hierarchical methods to disease modeling and mapping. This book is a comprehensive guide to beginners who wish to understand Bayesian methods and their application to disease data. The book comprised mainly of Bayesian hirarchical spatial and spatio-temporal disease modeling and mapping. The text provides detailed and direct coverage of Bayesian methods' concept and their application to disease data, applied to tuberculosis in this book. The book also concentrate on application of computational methods used to obtain parameters of interest from simple to complex Bayesian models.
