Cape Cod Breast Cancer Data. Twenty years oflatency. Odds ratios are relative to the whole study area. a) Crude, optimal span of 35%. b) Adjusted, optimal span of 35%. Adjusting for race makes little difference in the map at a span of 35%. c) Crude, span of 15%. A smaller span reveals hot spots not apparent at the larger span. d) Adjusted, span of 15%. Difference from the crude map indicates spatial confounding by race using the smaller span size.
