Application of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to projecting cancer incidence and mortality (2002)
Journal Article
Bray, I. (2002). Application of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to projecting cancer incidence and mortality. Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series C, 51(2), 151-164. https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-9876.00260

Projections based on incidence and mortality data collected by cancer registries are important for estimating current rates in the short term, and public health planning in the longer term. Classical approaches are dependent on questionable parametri... Read More about Application of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to projecting cancer incidence and mortality.

Recent trends and future directions for lung cancer mortality in Europe (2002)
Journal Article
Brennan, P., & Bray, I. (2002). Recent trends and future directions for lung cancer mortality in Europe. British Journal of Cancer, 87(1), 43-48. https://doi.org/10.1038/sj.bjc.6600352

Lung cancer mortality patterns throughout Europe are very heterogeneous and largely reflect past smoking habits. In order to clarify the changing patterns of lung cancer in Europe we have plotted the overall lung cancer trends among men and women for...

Application of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to modelling birth prevalence of Down syndrome (2002)
Journal Article
Bray, I., & Wright, D. E. (2002). Application of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to modelling birth prevalence of Down syndrome. Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series C, 47(4), 589-602. https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-9876.00130

Data collected before the routine application of prenatal screening are of unique value in estimating the natural live-birth prevalence of Down syndrome. However, much of these data are from births from over 20 years ago and they are of uncertain qua...
