Empirical Bayes smoothing (DCluster)
Dear Dorothea,
I have used both of the empirical Bayes smoothing models (Poisson-Gamma and Log-normal) implemented in the package DCLuster for smoothing disease risk in a study region. But I wonder if there is a function where the local mean can be used instead of the global mean in order to smooth the estimates.
You can use EBlocal() in spdep to achieve local smoothing. Best wishes, Virgilio
