Relative Risk Estimation of Tuberculosis with Standardized Morbidity Ratio in Malaysia

TB is a widespread disease which is one of several factors that cause millions of death worldwide. The numbers of TB cases reported keep on increasing from year to year.Moreover, this type of disease can become epidemic and also pandemic if it is not controlled.Disease mapping can be used in control...
