Project aims
The aims of this collaborative project with researchers from Emory and Harvard universities are: i) to describe spatial uncertainty, with a particular focus on census data and sampling-based risk denominators and covariates (e.g., from the US American Community Survey (ACS) or UK Population Coverage Survey (PCS)); ii) to model spatial uncertainty through a flexible, model-based framework that accounts for uncertain elements within small area estimation and disease mapping accurately, reliably, and reproducibly; and iii) to develop improved ways of communicating and visualizing spatial uncertainty.
