Maps for structured spatial function in the VCM and REM for breast cancer mortality.

<p>(Left) Estimated structured spatial effect, where the range was categorized by 5-quantiles. (Right) 80% posterior probabilities, where black colour means significantly positive spatial effect, grey colour means significantly negative spatial effect, and tan colour means non-significantly spatial effect.</p

Model diagnostics and variance components of structured and unstructured spatial function in three breast cancer indicators.

<p>Abbreviation: VCM = varying-coefficient model; REM = random-effects model, D(θ) = posterior mean of the deviance; p_d = effect number of parameters;  = structured spatial variance;  = unstructured spatial variance;  = proportion of the structured spatial variance in total spatial variance.</p
