Modifications to Spatial Scan Statistics for Estimated Probabilities at Fine-Resolution in Highly Skewed Spatial Distributions
Content Type: Abstract
Estimation of representative spatial probabilities and expected counts from baseline data can cause problems in applying spatial scan statistics when observed events are sparse in a large percentage of the spatial zones (e.g.,… read more… this inves- tigation of alternatives.
