TL;DR: This study demonstrates how public and private data sources that are commonly available for LMICs can be used to provide novel insight into the spatial distribution of poverty, indicating the possibility to estimate and continually monitor poverty rates at high spatial resolution in countries with limited capacity to support traditional methods of data collection.
Geographic displacement procedure and georeferenced data release policy for the Demographic and Health Surveys.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the geographic displacement procedures and georeferenced data release policy developed by the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) project to protect the identity of survey respondents.

Agricultural diversification as an important strategy for achieving food security in Africa
Katharina Waha,Mark T. van Wijk,Steffen Fritz,Linda See,Philip K. Thornton,Philip K. Thornton,Jannike Wichern,Mario Herrero +7 more
TL;DR: A shift in the research and policy paradigm toward agricultural diversification options may be necessary to hamper the ability of agricultural systems to respond to climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Armed conflict and child mortality in Africa: a geospatial analysis.
TL;DR: Armed conflict substantially and persistently increases infant mortality in Africa, with effect sizes on a scale with malnutrition and several times greater than existing estimates of the mortality burden of conflict.

The Uncertain Geographic Context Problem
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of area-based attributes on individual behaviors or outcomes face another fundamental methodological problem besides the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP), i.e., the problem of finding the optimal attribute for each individual.

The Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP)
TL;DR: The modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP) as discussed by the authors ) is a problem where the boundaries of many geographical units are often demarcated artificially, and thus can be changed.

TL;DR: Using linked national data in a geographic information system system, Sabine Gabrysch and colleagues investigate the effects of distance to care and level of care on women's use of health facilities for delivery in rural Zambia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Approximate Quasi-likelihood Estimation in Models with Surrogate Predictors
TL;DR: In this article, a taxonomy of the data sets likely to be available in measurement error studies is developed and an asymptotic theory based on this taxonomy is obtained and includes measurement error and Berkson error models as special cases.
