María Dolores Ugarte
María Dolores (Lola) Ugarte Martínez is a Spanish statistician specializing in spatial analysis, spatio-temporal analysis, epidemiology, and small area estimation. She is a professor in the Statististics, Computer Science, and Mathematics Department at the Public University of Navarre. Education and career Ugarte earned a degree in mathematics from the University of Zaragoza in 1989, and completed her Ph.D. in 1996 at the Public University of Navarre. After post-doctoral research at Simon Fraser University, she became an associate professor at the Public University of Navarre in 1997, and full professor in 2009. She chaired the statistics department there from 2007 to 2012. Ugarte served as vice president of the Spanish Statistical Society from 2010 to 2013, and as co-editor-in-chief of the journal ''TEST'' of the Spanish Society of Statistics and Operations Research from 2017 to 2020. She is treasurer of the Federation of European National Statistical Societies. Books Uga ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Spatial Analysis
Spatial analysis or spatial statistics includes any of the formal techniques which studies entities using their topological, geometric, or geographic properties. Spatial analysis includes a variety of techniques, many still in their early development, using different analytic approaches and applied in fields as diverse as astronomy, with its studies of the placement of galaxies in the cosmos, to chip fabrication engineering, with its use of "place and route" algorithms to build complex wiring structures. In a more restricted sense, spatial analysis is the technique applied to structures at the human scale, most notably in the analysis of geographic data or transcriptomics data. Complex issues arise in spatial analysis, many of which are neither clearly defined nor completely resolved, but form the basis for current research. The most fundamental of these is the problem of defining the spatial location of the entities being studied. Classification of the techniques of spatial ...

Epidemiology
Epidemiology is the study and analysis of the distribution (who, when, and where), patterns and determinants of health and disease conditions in a defined population. It is a cornerstone of public health, and shapes policy decisions and evidence-based practice by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventive healthcare. Epidemiologists help with study design, collection, and statistical analysis of data, amend interpretation and dissemination of results (including peer review and occasional systematic review). Epidemiology has helped develop methodology used in clinical research, public health studies, and, to a lesser extent, basic research in the biological sciences. Major areas of epidemiological study include disease causation, transmission, outbreak investigation, disease surveillance, environmental epidemiology, forensic epidemiology, occupational epidemiology, screening, biomonitoring, and comparisons of treatment effects such as in clinical trials. ...
