A Geostatistical Framework for Combining Spatially Referenced Disease Prevalence Data from Multiple Diagnostics
Benjamin Amoah, Emanuele Giorgi, Peter Diggle
Multiple diagnostic tests are often used due to limited resources or because they provide complementary information on the epidemiology of a disease under investigation. Existing s…

Geostatistical methods for disease mapping and visualization using data from spatio-temporally referenced prevalence surveys
Emanuele Giorgi, Peter J. Diggle, Robert W. Snow +1
In this paper we set out general principles and develop geostatistical methods for the analysis of data from spatio-temporally referenced prevalence surveys. Our objective is to pr…

On the goodness-of-fit of generalized linear geostatistical models
Emanuele Giorgi
We propose a generalization of Zhang's coefficient of determination to generalized linear geostatistical models and illustrate its application to river-blindness mapping. The gener…
