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… et al.; licensee Emerging Health Threats Journal. www.eht-journal.org 4747 The Monte Carlo simulation requires … spatial and space-time scan statistics.

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… data were obtained from the Brazilian Ministry of Health (www.datasus.gov.br) and Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (www.ibge.- gov.br).
