Bayesian point process modeling to quantify excess risk in spatial epidemiology: an analysis of stillbirths with a maternal contextual effect

Motivated by the paucity of high quality stillbirth surveillance data and the spatial analyses of such data, the current research sets out to quantitatively describe the pattern of stillbirth events that may lead to mechanistic hypotheses. We broaden the appeal of Bayesian Poisson point process mode...
