A spatial model to predict the incidence of neural tube defects

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Environmental exposure may play an important role in the incidences of neural tube defects (NTD) of birth defects. Their influence on NTD may likely be non-linear; few studies have considered spatial autocorrelation of residuals in t...
