Spatial cluster detection through constrained dynamic programming
Content Type: Abstract
The spatial scan statistic [1] is the most used measure for cluster strenght. The evaluation of all possible subsets of regions in a large dataset is computationally infeasible. Many heuristics have appeared recently to compute approximate values… read more -
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
