Inference on a collapsed margin in disease mapping

This paper describes a method for estimating the risk from a disease over a set of contiguous geographical regions, when data on a potentially important covariate, such as race, are not available. Conditions under which the extra margin can be recovered are suggested. An application to prostate canc...

Zusammenfassung:This paper describes a method for estimating the risk from a disease over a set of contiguous geographical regions, when data on a potentially important covariate, such as race, are not available. Conditions under which the extra margin can be recovered are suggested. An application to prostate cancer mortality among the non‐white population in the counties of the U.S.A. is discussed.
