Geomedicine, called medical geology, is the science dealing with the influence of natural environmental factors on human and animal health (Bølviken 1998)
For large survey areas such correlations may vary from place to place, in other words be different within different sub-areas
This procedure is repeated until a value for the correlation coefficient is obtained for every station (S) within the survey area
Summary
Geomedicine, called medical geology, is the science dealing with the influence of natural environmental factors on human and animal health (Bølviken 1998). The delineation of such sub-areas is normally not known beforehand This calls for a statistical method of spatially moving correlation analysis. This procedure is repeated until a value for the correlation coefficient is obtained for every station (S) within the survey area. The results of moving correlation analysis can be plotted on a map by symbols at the (X, Y) coordinates of the central station (S) of each position of the window Such a map illustrates how the correlation coefficient varies between sub-areas.
