Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Studying Spatial Patterns and Association Between these Patterns of Mortality and Prosperity in MalaysiaFaisal G. Khamis, Abdul Aziz Jemain, Kamarulzaman IbrahimIn this study, we examined the geographical distribution (the spatial structure) of mortality and prosperity in Malaysia. In addition we proposed an approach to investigate the association between clustering patterns of mortality and prosperity across different areas of the country. To characterize the geographic pattern of mortality and prosperity, three indicators (infant, neonatal, and stillbirth) were proposed for mortality and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,935 accessesView PDF Cite
