Correction to: A geographic identifier assignment algorithm with Bayesian variable selection to identify neighborhood factors associated with emergency department visit disparities for asthma

The Original Article was published on 18 March 2020

Correction to: Int J Health Geogr (2020) 19:9 https://0-doi-org.brum.beds.ac.uk/10.1186/s12942-020-00203-7

Unfortunately, the original version of the article [1] contained an error. A typo in the main equation (Eq. 1) has been introduced during the production process. The operator “ = ” in Eq. 1 “log(θik) =  α + ui…” was missing.

The equation should read as:

$$\begin{aligned} Y_{ik} & \sim Poisson\left( {\mu_{ik} } \right) \\ \mu_{ik} & = E_{i} \theta_{ik} \\ \log \left( {\theta_{ik} } \right) & = \alpha + u_{i} + v_{i} + w_{j} + g_{k} + \varvec{\beta^{\prime}}_{1} \varvec{X}_{ik} + \varvec{\beta^{\prime}}_{2} \varvec{X}_{j} \\ \beta_{*} & \sim Normal\left( {0,\tau_{*}^{ - 1} } \right) \\ \tau_{*}^{ - 1} & \sim Gamma\left( {2,1} \right) \\ \end{aligned}$$

The original article has been corrected.
