• My research interest is in Geographical Information Science (GIS) with particular specialties in spatial and spatiotemporal statistics which been applied in health geography, environmental health and epidemiology.
• I have expertise at developing sophisticated statistical models under the BHM framework including modeling spatial or spatiotemporal stochastic process using Bayesian approximate inference approaches.
•Proposing Bayesian Spatiotemporally Varying Coefficients (STVC) model for measuring spatial-temporal non-stationary relationships (2018), Progressive Spatiotemporal (PST) method for missing data estimation (2018), Disease Relative Risk Downscaling (DRRD) model for advanced disease mapping (2019), as well as B-GeoSVC model for fusing regional and local-scale process spatial heterogeneity (2019).
• Welcome to utilize these models in your research, and feel free to contact us (chaosong.gis@gmail.com).
