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 … -
A Zero-Inflated Poisson Based Spatial Scan Statistic
Content Type: Abstract
The spatial scan statistic proposed by Kulldorff has been widely used in spatial disease surveillance and other spatial cluster detection applications. In one of its versions, such scan statistic was developed for inhomogeneous Poisson process… read more… Technometrics. 1992;34:1�14. *André Cançado E-mail: cancado@gmail.com (page number not for citation purpose) Fig. 1. … -
Non-parametric intensity bounds for the visualization of disease clusters
Content Type: Abstract
Consider the most likely disease cluster produced by any given method, like SaTScan, for the detection and inference of spatial clusters in a map divided into areas; if this cluster is found to be statistically significant, what could be… read more… Department, University of Brası́lia, Brası́lia, Brazil E-mail: fernandoluizoliveira@est.ufmg.br Objective Given an …
