Dry Climate as a Predictor of Chagas; Disease Irregular Clusters: A Covariate Study
Content Type: Abstract
Chagas’ disease, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is spread mostly by Triatominae bugs. High carbon dioxide emission and strong infra-red (IR) radiation are indicative of their presence. Periods of low atmospheric water saturation favor… read more -
Weighted non-connectivity for detection of irregular clusters
Content Type: Abstract
Heuristics to detect irregularly shaped spatial clusters were reviewed recently. The spatial scan statistic is a widely used measure of the strength of clusters. However, other measures may also be useful, such as the geometric compactness… read more
