Basically, what you need to do is to create a SpatialPolygonDataFrame
object from your map. Depending on the format, there are different
options available in R. Then you can read the results from your model
and add a new column to the map object with your estimate of the
smoothed relative risks (I presume). Then you can use spplot to display
the results.

Best,
