This study introduces a penalized quasilikelihood (PQL) method for more accurate disease risk predictions in lattice mapping. The approach provides reliable interval predictions, closely matching Bayesian methods for spatial disease analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Spatial statistics
  • Biostatistics
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Conditional autoregressive (CAR) models are standard for disease risk mapping.
  • Frequentist and Bayesian methods exist for two-stage disease risk predictions.
  • Bayesian methods offer superior inference due to SE variability accounting.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate an analytical adjustment for disease risk inference using penalized quasilikelihood (PQL).
  • To provide accurate interval predictions for subregional disease risk.
  • To assess the PQL method's performance against established techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized penalized quasilikelihood (PQL) for parameter estimation.
  • Employed a first-order Taylor expansion for standard error approximation.

  • Conducted a simulation study and analyzed lip cancer incidence data from Scotland.

    • Main Results:

    • The PQL method provides accurate, conditional calibrated prediction intervals.
    • Simulation results demonstrate effective subregion risk estimation.
    • Analysis of Scottish lip cancer data shows close agreement with Bayesian results.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed analytical adjustment using PQL is a suitable method for disease risk inference.
    • This frequentist approach offers a viable alternative to Bayesian methods for spatial disease mapping.
    • The method yields reliable interval predictions comparable to fully Bayesian counterparts.
