Preface
As an area of statistical application, environmental epidemiology and more specifically, the estimation of health risk associated with the exposure to environmental agents, has led to the development of several statistical methods and software that can then be applied to other scientific areas. The statistical analyses aimed at addressing questions in environmental epidemiology have the following characteristics. Often the signal-to-noi
