Continuous characterization of the planform geometry and curvature of meandering rivers.(Report)
Jan 01, 2008; ... The complex feedback between process and form that governs planform migration of meandering rivers is still incompletely understood. Current theoretical models aimed at predicting planform migration relate the rate of meander migration at a particular location to the channel curvature at ...
An anisotropic model for spatial processes.(Report)
Jan 01, 2008; ... One of the key assumptions in spatial econometric modeling is that the spatial process is isotropic, which means that direction is irrelevant in the specification of the spatial structure. On the one hand, this assumption largely reduces the complexity of the spatial models and facilitates ...
Quantifying the effects of mask metadata disclosure and multiple releases on the confidentiality of geographically masked health data.(Report)
Jan 01, 2008; ... The availability of individual-level health data presents opportunities for monitoring the distribution and spread of emergent, acute, and chronic conditions, as well as challenges with respect to maintaining the anonymity of persons with health conditions. Particularly when such data are ...
A Bayesian dynamic spatio-temporal interaction model: an application to prostate cancer incidence.(Report)
Jan 01, 2008; ... During the past three decades, prostate cancer incidence has changed substantially in the United States. A fully Bayesian hierarchical spatio-temporal interaction model is proposed to estimate prostate cancer incidence rates in the state of Iowa. We introduce random spatial effects to ...
