SpaceStat and Geohealth Tutorials – Mixed Model Regression Part 4: Mixed Model Regression
Materials
Project created from Mixed Model Regression Part 3: Aspatial Regression
or MixedModelStep4.SPT SpaceStat project
Estimated Time
20 minutes
Objectives
This tutorial will use the Mixed Model Regression method in SpaceStat software to explore the patterns in all cancer mortality rates among women, 1969-2002. We will look for changing spatial patterns over time and see if some basic sociodemographic covariates can help to explain them. The mixed model approach will allow specified covariates to vary across broad U.S. regions.
In this step we will setup and run the mixed model regression.
