Modeling Area-Level Health Rankings
Courtemanche, Charles; Soneji, Samir; Tchernis, Rusty - 2013
We propose a Bayesian factor analysis model to rank the health of localities. Mortality and morbidity variables empirically contribute to the resulting rank, and population and spatial correlation are incorporated into a measure of uncertainty. We use county-level data from Texas and Wisconsin...
