Exploratory Spatial Analysis Methods in Cancer Prevention and Control
Lecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography(2007)
摘要
Improved geocoding practices and population coverage of cancer incidence records, together with linkages to other administrative record systems, permit the development of new methods of exploratory spatial analysis. We illustrate these developments with results from a GIS-based workbench developed by faculty and students at the University of Iowa. The system accesses records from the Iowa Cancer Registry. In using these methods, the privacy of individuals is protected while still permitting results to be available for small geographic areas. Geographic masking techniques are illustrated as are kernel density estimation methods used in the context of Monte Carlo simulations of spatial patterns of selected cancer burdens of breast, colorectal and prostate cancer in Iowa.
