A clear example in developed countries is breast cancer, where mortality increased sharply until the nineties and then decreased. This clear unimodal pattern is not necessarily generalizable to all regions within a country. In this work, we develop statistical tests to check if this unimodality persists within regions using order restricted inference. The same methodology will be also used to provide change-points within regions as well as con dence intervals. Results will be illustrated using age-speci c breast cancer mortality data from Spain in the period 1975-2005. application/pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Testing for unimodality in mortality trends 59th ISI World Congress info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject
