Article Synopsis
- This study compares different spatial statistical models to estimate the distribution of Zika and Chikungunya infections in Recife, Brazil, focusing on geographical relationships.
- The researchers tested various combinations of spatial units, dependent variable formats, and estimation methods (GWR and OLS) to identify the most accurate model for the disease spread.
- The findings revealed that using a 100-meter spatial unit and kernel density estimation with the GWR method provided the best results, indicating significant connections between geographical conditions and the diseases' incidence.
