Content Type: Abstract
Spatial cluster analysis is considered an important technique for the elucidation of disease causes and epidemiological surveillance. Kulldorff's spatial scan statistic, defined as a likelihood ratio, is the usual measure of the strength of… read more… cost of estimating the data-driven critical value may be reduced through the use of a simple interpolation. … M.

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.
