Neurological disease in Finland
9
Cases MND 1000 cases 3113 case residences But population naturally clusters in cities So search for ‘excess’ over and above the background rate
10
Kernel (Density) Estimates of All places of residence Statistical Significance tested by Monte-Carlo Simulation Note large peak in SE Finland Residential Clustering of Motor Neurone Disease Finland
11
Space-Time Visualisation Residential Migration Animation Space: Finland Time: 1965 – 1990 Illustrates Spatial and Temporal variation Note: persistent dark areas in SE In SW, at varying times, areas switch from high to low rates of disease
12
MND Individual Migration Histories Same data as before, but now showing individual migration trajectories. The larger densities of colour identify the larger cities
13
Road Traffic Accidents in New Zealand
14
Christchurch, NZ City Centre Also a Kernel density estimate of RTAs. Compare model results (black polygon) with observations (red-blue image) Note more accidents than modelled in the city centre, and around junctions
16
Left: Temporal analysis of all road accidents - accidents reducing over time, due to increased safety measures introduced. Right: Temporal analysis of just accidents involving cyclists - accidents increasing in the circled area, why?
