Comparing adaptive and fixed bandwidth-based kernel density estimates in spatial cancer epidemiology

Monitoring spatial disease risk (e.g. identifying risk areas) is of great relevance in public health research, especially in cancer epidemiology. A common strategy uses case-control studies and estimates a spatial relative risk function (sRRF) via kernel density estimation (KDE). This study was set...
