Published: September 1996

This paper demonstrates the use of the Gibbs Sampler and other Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods in two applications in environmental epidemiology. The first example concerns the application of a Metropolis-Hastings/Gibbs sampler to a Cox process with a direction-dependent cluster variance parameter. The second example consists of the estimation of the posterior (spatial) distribution of a putative location.
