Geospatial Health Data

This book shows how to model disease risk and quantify risk factors using areal and geostatistical data. It also shows how to create interactive maps of disease risk and risk factors, and describes how to build interactive dashboards and Shiny web applications that facilitate the communication of insights to collaborators and policy makers.
