StarScan: A Novel Scan Statistic for Irregularly-Shaped Spatial Clusters
Introduction Kulldorff’s spatial scan statistic1 detects significant spatial clusters of disease by maximizing a likelihood ratio statistic over circular spatial regions. The fast localized subset scan2 enables scalable detection of proximity-constrained subsets and increases power to detect irregularly-shaped clusters, However, unconstrained subset scanning within each circular neighborhood2, ...
متن کاملEvaluation of spatial scan statistics for irregularly shaped disease clusters
Spatial scan statistics are commonly used for geographic disease cluster detection and evaluation. We propose and implement a modified version of the simulated annealing spatial scan statistic that incorporates the concept of “non-compactness” in order to penalize clusters that are very irregular in shape. We evaluate its power for the simulated annealing scan and compare it with the circular a...
متن کاملA flexibly shaped spatial scan statistic for detecting clusters
BACKGROUND The spatial scan statistic proposed by Kulldorff has been applied to a wide variety of epidemiological studies for cluster detection. This scan statistic, however, uses a circular window to define the potential cluster areas and thus has difficulty in correctly detecting actual noncircular clusters. A recent proposal by Duczmal and Assunção for detecting noncircular clusters is shown...
متن کاملA spatial scan statistic for nonisotropic two-level risk cluster.
Spatial scan statistic methods are commonly used for geographical disease surveillance and cluster detection. The standard spatial scan statistic does not model any variability in the underlying risks of subregions belonging to a detected cluster. For a multilevel risk cluster, the isotonic spatial scan statistic could model a centralized high-risk kernel in the cluster. Because variations in d...
متن کاملA Bayesian Spatial Scan Statistic
We propose a new Bayesian method for spatial cluster detection, the “Bayesian spatial scan statistic,” and compare this method to the standard (frequentist) scan statistic approach. We demonstrate that the Bayesian statistic has several advantages over the frequentist approach, including increased power to detect clusters and (since randomization testing is unnecessary) much faster runtime. We ...
