New Publication in Spatial and Spatio-temporal Epidemiology

I first authored an article in Spatial and Spatio-temporal Epidemiology entitled “Multiple ‘spaces’: using wildlife surveillance, climatic variables, and spatial satitics to identify and map a climatic niche for endemic plague in California”.

New Web Application "Spatial Power" launched

Spatial Power is a web application that calculates the power for spatial statistics. Currently, the tool has one module for the spatial relative risk function. Dr. Derek Brown and I co-designed the web application with a development team from the NCI Center for Biomedical Informatics & Information Technology.

New Publication in the International Journal of Health Geographics

I co-first authored an article in the International Journal of Health Geographics entitled “sparrpowR: a flexible R package to estimate statistical power to identify spatial clustering of two groups and its application”.

New Publication in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health

I co-authored an article in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health entitled “Spatial Heterogeneity in Positional Errors: A Comparison of Two Residential Geocoding Efforts in the Agricultural Health Study”, which is included in the Special Issue Spatial Data Uncertainty in Public Health Research.

2021 Trans-Fellowship Research Award Supplement

Dr. Derek Brown and I received a Trans-Fellowship Research Award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Division of Cancer Prevention Cancer Prevention Fellowship Program (CPFP) to supplement our 2020 DCEG Informatics Tool Challenge Award.

Invited Presentation for the DCEG Geospatial Analysis Working Group

Dr. Derek Brown and I presented our “Spatial Power” webtool for the NCI Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics January 2021 monthly Geographic Analysis Working Group meeting. Spatial Power is an upcomping webtool to calculate power for spatial statistics.

New CRAN Package {envi}

My third R package is published in the Comprehensive R Archive Network named envi. It estimates the ecological niche using presence/absence data and the spatial relative risk function via the sparr package.

New CRAN Package {gateR}

My second R package is published in the Comprehensive R Archive Network named gateR. It estimates clustering of cytometry cells using markers and the spatial relative risk function via the sparr package.

New CRAN Package {sparrpowR}

My first R package is in the Comprehensive R Archive Network named sparrpowR. It provides a statistical power calculation for the spatial relative risk function via the sparr package. See the public Github repository for more details.
