Title:	Seasonal Analyses of Air Pollution and Mortality in 100 U.S. Cities
Author(s):	Roger Peng*+
Companies:	Johns Hopkins University
Address:	Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD, 21205,
Keywords:	particulate matter ; effect modification
Abstract:	The focus of this project is to examine changes across seasons of the short-term effects of particulate matter on daily mortality. We are developing models for time series data that allow for interactions between season, pollution, and possibly other confounders. In addition, we use Bayesian hierarchical models to examine how the seasonality of pollution effects varies across regions of the U.S. We apply our methods to the recently updated NMMAPS database which includes daily time series for the period 1987-2000 for the largest 100 cities in the U.S.
