Spatial Scan Statistics Adjusted for Multiple Clusters
The spatial scan statistic is one of the main epidemiological tools to test for the presence of disease clusters in a geographical region. While the statistical significance of the most likely cluster is correctly assessed using the model assumptions, secondary clusters tend to have conservatively high P-values. In this paper, we propose a sequential version of the spatial scan statistic to adj...
متن کاملRisk Adjusted Bernoulli Spatial Scan Statistics
Kulldorff’s scan statistics identify likely spatial, temporal, and spatial-temporal clusters via likelihood hypotheses tests of whether the observed rate of cases within a geographic or longitudinal region is statistically larger than that outside the region. The conventional versions of this test are based on the assumption that all opportunities (e.g., people) inside the region have the same ...
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 کاملSpatial scan statistics with overdispersion.
The spatial scan statistic has been widely used in spatial disease surveillance and spatial cluster detection for more than a decade. However, overdispersion often presents in real-world data, causing not only violation of the Poisson assumption but also excessive type I errors or false alarms. In order to account for overdispersion, we extend the Poisson-based spatial scan test to a quasi-Pois...
متن کاملSpatial Scan Statistics for Graph Clustering
In this paper, we present a measure associated with detection and inference of statistically anomalous clusters of a graph based on the likelihood test of observed and expected edges in a subgraph. This measure is adapted from spatial scan statistics for point sets and provides quantitative assessment for clusters. We discuss some important properties of this statistic and its relation to modul...
