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… Department, University of Brasilia, Brasilia, Brazil E-mail: sabjfn@gmail.com.br Objective Irregularly shaped clusters in maps … -
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… Statist Theor Meth. 1997;26:1481�96. *Sabino Ferreira E-mail: sabino@est.ufmg.br (page number not for citation …
