2003
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series C: Applied Statistics
A study into geographical variability of reproductive health outcomes (e.g. birth weight) in Upper Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA, benefits from geostatistical mapping or kriging. However, also observed are some continuous covariates (e.g. maternal age) that exhibit pronounced non-linear relationships with the response variable.
