Empirical Bayes Procedures for Stabilizing Maps of U.S. Cancer Mortality Rates
The geographic mapping of age-standardized, cause-specific death rates is a powerful tool for
identifying possible etiologic factors, because the spatial distribution of mortality risks can be
examined for correlations with the spatial distribution of disease-specific risk factors. This
article presents a two-stage empirical Bayes procedure for calculating age-...
