Breast Cancer Results. Odds ratios are relative to the whole study area. a) Adjusted, no latency. b) Adjusted. Assuming 15 years of latency somewhat increases spatial variation. c) Adjusted, 20 years of latency. Further increasing latency increases magnitude of hot and cold spots. d) Crude, 20 years of latency, created using the optimal span (0.15) of the adjusted map. Difference from the adjusted map indicates spatial confounding. e) Adjusted, 20 years of latency. Black contour lines denote areas of significantly increased and decreased risk at the 0.05 level.
