  • Monitoring Pharmacy Retail Data for Anomalous Space-Time Clusters

    Content Type: Abstract

    Bio-surveillance systems monitor multiple data streams (over-the-counter (OTC) sales, Emergency Department visits, etc.) to detect both natural disease outbreaks (e.g. influenza) and bio-terrorist attacks (e.g. anthrax re-lease). Many detection… read more

  • A Bayesian Scan Statistic for Spatial Cluster Detection

    Content Type: Abstract

    This paper develops a new Bayesian method for cluster detection, the ìBayesian spatial scan statistic,î and compares this method to the standard (frequen-tist) scan statistic approach on the task of prospective disease surveillance.

  • A Multivariate Bayesian Scan Statistic

    Content Type: Abstract

    This paper develops a new method for multivariate spatial cluster detection, the ìmultivariate Bayesian scan statisticî (MBSS). MBSS combines information from multiple data streams in a Bayesian framework, enabling faster and more accurate… read more
