Spatial Analyses of Periodontal Data Using Conditionally Autoregressive Priors Having Two Classes of Neighbor Relations
采用两类邻接关系条件自回归先验的牙周数据空间分析
Attachment loss, the extent of a tooth's root (in millimeters) that is no longer attached to surrounding bone by periodontal ligament, is often used to measure the current state of a patient's periodontal disease and monitor disease progression. Attachment loss data can be analyzed using a conditionally autoregressive (CAR) prior distribution that smooths fitted values toward neighboring values. However, it may be desirable to have more than one class of neighbor relation in…
