Summary of Project

Disease mapping is often faced with challenges ranging from misalignment, small counts and data that are recorded at different spatial scales. In addition to the hierarchical structure of spatial data, health outcomes may also be time variable. Using Spatio-temporal tools, this project will identify stressors that significantly affect various health outcomes across Australia
