Model
The final dissimilarity model in this example has the following levels and specifications:
Likelihood model :
Poisson (log link function) Yk ~ Poisson (Ek,Rk)
Random effects model :
Localised CAR ~ N
Dissimilarity metrics :
Z.LUNG (using population count per unit area) { wkj | k ~ j }
Regression equation :
[1] "LUNG[OBS] ~ offset(log(LUNGEXP))" ln(Rk) =
