Non-stationary partition modeling of geostatistical data for malaria risk mapping (Publications)
influence geographical dependence in malaria transmission differently at different locations, introducing non-stationarity. Ignoring this characteristic in malaria spatial modeling may lead to inaccurate [...] Monte Carlo simulation. This methodology was applied to analyze malaria survey data from Mali and to produce a country-level smooth map of malaria risk [...] The most common assumption in geostatistical modeling of malaria is stationarity, that is spatial correlation is a function of the...
