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… of the strength of clusters.

Mapping the uncertainty of non-contagious disease clusters boundaries in Brazil
Content Type: Abstract
The intrinsic variability that exists in the cases counting data for aggregated-area maps amounts to a corresponding uncertainty in the delineation of the most likely cluster found by methods based on the spatial scan statistics [3]. If this cluster… read more… (type I and II jointly) in the period of January 2002 to May 2011 All data were obtained from the Brazilian Ministry … A spatial scan statistic.
