Abstract
The study of aggregated data influenced by time, space, and extra changes in geographic region borders was the main emphasis of the current paper. This may occur if the regions used to count the reported incidences of a health outcome over time change periodically. In order to handle the spatial-temporal scenario, we enhance the spatial root-Gaussian Cox Process (RGCP), which makes use of the square-root link function rather than the more typical log-link function. The algorithm’s ability to estimate a risk surface has been proven by a simulation study, and it has also been validated by real datasets.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
