On the limiting distribution of the spatial scan statistic
Bootstrap is the standard method in the spatial scan test. However, because the spatial scan statistic lacks theoretical properties, its development and connection to mainstream statistics has been limited. Using the methods of empirical processes with a few weak regularity conditions, the limiting distribution of the spatial scan statistic, which can provide a theoretical basis for the spatial...
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 ...
متن کاملA spatial scan statistic for ordinal data.
Spatial scan statistics are widely used for count data to detect geographical disease clusters of high or low incidence, mortality or prevalence and to evaluate their statistical significance. Some data are ordinal or continuous in nature, however, so that it is necessary to dichotomize the data to use a traditional scan statistic for count data. There is then a loss of information and the choi...
متن کاملThe Beta Exponentiated Gumbel Distribution
We introduce a new five-parameter distribution called the beta exponentiated Gumbel (BEG) distribution that includes the beta Gumbel, exponentiated Gumbel and Gumbel distribution. Expressions for the distribution function, density function and rth moment of the new distribution and order statistics are obtained. We discuss estimation of the parameters by maximum liklelihood ...
متن کاملA spatial scan statistic for multinomial data.
As a geographical cluster detection analysis tool, the spatial scan statistic has been developed for different types of data such as Bernoulli, Poisson, ordinal, exponential and normal. Another interesting data type is multinomial. For example, one may want to find clusters where the disease-type distribution is statistically significantly different from the rest of the study region when there ...
