摘要：We study environmental factors that might influence malaria incidence in Afghanistan.However, in modeling spatial data, the existence of spatial correlation between observations must be considered.The basic ingredient of our method is a generalised estimating equations (GEE) of the marginal mean of disease incidence,as a function of the geographical factors and the spatial correlation.We embed a series of GEEs, each reflecting a particular source of spatial correlation, into a larger system of estimating equations. To estimate the spatial correlation parameters, we set up a supplementary set of estimating equations based on the correlation structures induced from the different sources. Simultaneous estimation of the mean and correlation parameters is performed by alternating between the two systems of equations.
