Evaluation of threshold selection methods for adaptive kernel density estimation in disease mapping

BACKGROUND: Maps of disease rates produced without careful consideration of the underlying population distribution may be unreliable due to the well-known small numbers problem. Smoothing methods such as Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) are employed to control the population basis of spatial support...
