Rosychuk, Rhonda J., Torabi, Mahmoud
This paper studies generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) for the analysis of geographic and temporal variability of disease rates. This class of models adopts spatially correlated random effects and random temporal components. Spatio-temporal models that use conditional autoregressive smoothing...

Spatio-temporal modelling using B-spline for disease mapping: analysis of childhood cancer trends
Download2011
Torabi, Mahmoud, Rosychuk, Rhonda J.
To analyze childhood cancer diagnoses in the province of Alberta, Canada during 1983-2004, we construct a generalized linear mixed model for the analysis of geographic and temporal variability of cancer rates. In this model, spatially correlated random e®ects and temporal components are adopted....

Timely, accurate predictions of potential influenza epidemics are essential for healthcare providers and policy makers as the epidemics can result in heavy demands for health services. Current statistical modeling of surveillance data has limited prediction abilities and often fails to respond...

The biosphere as an increasing sink for atmospheric carbon: estimates from increased nitrogen deposition
Download1993
Estimates of carbon uptake and storage based on global nitrogen deposition, C:N ratios for typical terrestrial ecosystems, and recent ecosystem-scale nutrient studies indicate that 1.0- 2.3 Gt C yr-1 of carbon storage may be stimulated by anthropogenically caused increases in nitrogen deposition...

The role of terrestrial vegetation in atmospheric Hg deposition: Pools and fluxes of spike and ambient Hg from the METAALICUS experiment
Download2012
Graydon, J.A., Harris, R., St. Louis, V., Sandilands, K.A., Rudd, J.W.M., Kelly, C.A., Richardson, M., Emmerton, C.A., Lindberg, S.E., Tate, M.T., Asmath, H., Krabbenhoft, D.P.
As part of the Mercury Experiment to Assess Atmospheric Loading in Canada and the U.S. (METAALICUS), different stable Hg(II) isotope spikes were applied to the upland and wetland areas of a boreal catchment between 2001 and 2006 to examine retention of newly deposited Hg(II). In the present...
