This workshop aims at providing participants an overview and introduction to spatial statistical methods and their applications in health and population research. The workshop will include lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises. Lectures will focus on basic statistical concepts and techniques for the analysis of spatially referenced data, including geostatistical data, regional data, and spatial point patterns. Examples from a variety of topical areas in public health and population related research will be used to illustrate various spatial statistical methodologies. Computer laboratory exercises will allow participants to gain hands-on experience in the statistical analysis of spatial data.
