Several methods are commonly used in geostatistics, including:
Kriging: A sophisticated interpolation method that provides the best linear unbiased prediction of the spatial distribution of a variable. Spatial Autocorrelation: Measures the degree of similarity between health events in nearby locations, helping to identify clusters and hotspots. Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR): A technique that allows for the analysis of spatially varying relationships between variables. Spatial Scan Statistics: Used to detect and evaluate clusters of health events.
