Resumen

GONZALEZ POLANCO, Liset  y  PEREZ BETANCOURT, Guillermo. Spatial data mining and its application in health and epidemiology studies. Rev. cuba. inf. cienc. salud [online]. 2013, vol.24, n.4, pp.482-489. ISSN 2307-2113.

The accumulation of spatial data resulting from the development of information systems, especially geographic information systems, has paved the way for the application of spatial data mining techniques for the extraction of new knowledge which could in turn assist in decision making. Health and epidemiology areas have not been alien to the development and use of these systems, revalidating the importance of the spatial component both in research and in the design of differentiated prevention and control strategies for each health area. The paper presents the methodological aspects and concepts associated with spatial data mining. A description is provided of the main algorithms and tools used in spatial data mining, and some experiences are presented which illustrate the application trends and potential of this technique in health and epidemiology areas.

Palabras clave : spatial analysis; epidemiology; health; geographic information systems.
