## Overview

spatial-epidemiology covers the analysis of disease in geographic space: mapping rates, detecting
clusters, modeling spatial risk factors, and building hotspot surveillance systems. It combines
epidemiologic thinking with GIS and spatial statistics — and it treats the modifiable areal unit
problem and edge effects as first-class concerns, not footnotes.

## When to use

- Mapping disease rates: choropleth maps, smoothed rate maps, uncertainty visualization.
- Cluster detection: SaTScan spatial scan statistics, local Moran's I (LISA).
- Spatial regression: accounting for spatial autocorrelation in risk-factor models.
- Hotspot surveillance: prospective space-time detection for outbreak response.
- Environmental epidemiology: exposure-disease associations with spatial data.
