Spatial Scan Statistics for Models with Excess Zeros and Overdispersion
Content Type: Abstract
Spatial Scan Statistics [1] usually assume Poisson or Binomial distributed data, which is not adequate in many disease surveillance scenarios. For example, small areas distant from hospitals may exhibit a smaller number of cases than expected in… read more… For example, small areas distant from hospitals may exhibit a smaller number of cases than expected in those simple models. Also, underreporting may occur in underdeveloped regions, due to inefficient data … For example, small areas distant from hospitals may exhibit a smaller number of cases than expected in those …
