Fast and Flexible Outbreak Detection by Linear-Time Subset Scanning
Content Type: Abstract
The spatial scan statistic [1] detects significant spatial clusters of disease by maximizing a likelihood ratio statistic over a large set of spatial regions. Typical spatial scan approaches either constrain the search regions to… read more… spatial scans, with and without LTSS, on 281 days of ED visit data from 88 Allegheny County zip codes.
