author keywords: ambient air pollution; Bayesian hierarchical models; conditional autoregressive models; environmental epidemiology; particulate matter; spatial statistics

TL;DR: A multivariate spatial regression model is developed for the estimation of the risk of mortality associated with fine PM and its components across all counties in the conterminous United States and shows that in the Western United States, the nitrate and crustal components of the speciated fine PM seem to have more impact on mortality than the other components.

By: F. Flores, H. Allen*, H. Cheshire*, J. Davis*, M. Fuentes* & D. Kelting

TL;DR: The results suggest that stand LAI of loblolly pine plantations can be accurately estimated from readily available remote sensing data and provide an opportunity to apply the findings from ecophysiological studies in field plots to forest management decisions at an operational scale.

Model evaluation and spatial interpolation by Bayesian combination of observations with outputs from numerical models

BIOMETRICS, 61(1), 36–45.

By: M. Fuentes n & A. Raftery*

author keywords: air pollution; deterministic simulation models; environmental statistics; geostatistics; spatial statistics
MeSH headings : Air Pollution / statistics & numerical data; Algorithms; Bayes Theorem; Biometry; Computer Graphics; Maps as Topic; Models, Statistical; Sulfur Dioxide
TL;DR: Formal methods for combining sources of information with different spatial resolutions and for the evaluation of numerical models are developed and it is concluded that the numerical models perform worse in areas closer to power plants, where the SO2 values are overestimated by the models.

Threshold dependence of mortality effects for fine and coarse particles in Phoenix, Arizona

Smith, R. L., Spitzner, D., Kim, Y., & Fuentes, M. (2000, August). JOURNAL OF THE AIR & WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION, Vol. 50, pp. 1367–1379.

MeSH headings : Aged; Air Pollution / adverse effects; Arizona / epidemiology; Epidemiologic Studies; Female; Humans; Male; Models, Theoretical; Mortality / trends; Particle Size; Regression Analysis; Seasons; Sensitivity and Specificity; Urban Population
TL;DR: The PM effect is highest in spring and summer, when the anthropogenic concentration of coarse PM is lowest as determined by a principal components analysis, and consideration of nonlinear effects can lead to real changes of interpretation and raises the possibility of seasonal effects associated with the chemical composition of PM.
