| Sintesi≠ | A Bayesian ecological study combines the group-level observational design of classical ecological epidemiology with Bayesian hierarchical modelling. Rather than treating disease rates as fixed quantities, it places prior distributions over latent spatial or temporal effects — commonly using the Besag-York-Mollié (BYM) convolution prior — and updates beliefs from aggregate data to produce posterior maps of disease risk, smoothed rate estimates, and credible intervals for ecological associations between exposures and outcomes. | An ecological study is an observational epidemiological design in which the unit of analysis is a group or population — a country, region, city, or time period — rather than an individual. Exposures and outcomes are measured as aggregates (rates, proportions, or means) and then correlated across groups to generate or evaluate hypotheses about population-level associations between risk factors and disease. |
