Greetings to everyone.
My problem is this:
I want to analyze data which refer to cancer occurrences in my country and examine their spatial correlations.
This means that my database consist of patient data, that have a reference to the region the patient comes from. My question is how can I relate all the data to the regions shapefile.
That is, I have a polygon shapefile with all 52 regions, but, as expected, each region has more than one occurrence. One solution is to have 52 separate shapefiles, one for each region, and then produce spatial statistics for each.
What I want to do, is have them unified in one database, in order to make comparisons, for example, between region A & B etc.
Any help is much appreciated.
hello Xander. thanks for you reply.
The only data I have is the medical records, so I know the region the patient came from.
I have a map of the regions and I want to put all the records there, in oder to have them classified per region, or cancer type etc.
I don't have any summarized records, this is what I want to create
PS: sorry about the cancer talk, but this is the subject
