Abstract: ABSTRACT Regression analyses using data collected across contiguous a real units of varying size often fail to satisfy the statistical assumptions of ordinary least squares estimation, since errors arc neither homoscedaslic nor uncorrelated. This paper considers regression analysis in the case of mortality data collected across 87 contiguous Community Medicine Areas defined for the Creater Glasgow conurbation. Data properties are identified using exploratory techniques. A statistical model is specified, parameters estimated udner alternative assumptions about the errors, and the fit assessed using both confirmatory and exploratory methods. A pricipal objective of the study is to identify areas that have particularly high or low mortality rates.
