Spatio-Temporal Methods in Environmental Epidemiology
Chapter 14 - NEW FRONTIERS
Summary
In this chapter the reader will have encountered a selection of new frontiers in spatio–temporal epidemiology including
the following:
A number of areas that are currently under active development.
Two modern approaches to addressing the problem of non-stationarity in random spatio–temporal fields;
warping
and dimension expansion.
How dimension expansion can be used to dramatically reduce non-stationarity and suggest its possible causes.
A powerful approach combining both physical and statistical modelling within a single framework.
