چکیده

This note brings current the power comparisons for disease clustering tests, as originally reported by Kulldorff, Tango, and Park [3]. A minor improvement to the implementation of the M -statistic, motivated by that work, results in dramatically higher power to detect clusters of disease.

ارائه یک روش فازی-تکاملی برای تشخیص خطاهای نرم‌افزار

Software defects detection is one of the most important challenges of software development and it is the most prohibitive process in software development. The early detection of fault-prone modules helps software project managers to allocate the limited cost, time, and effort of developers for testing the defect-prone modules more intensively. In this paper, according to the importance of soft...

Improved sib-pair linkage test for disease susceptibility loci.

An improved sib-pair test for linkage is introduced which is superior to the previously proposed tests. The test is derived from the standard chi-squared goodness of fit statistic by restricting the alternative hypothesis to the genetically possible. Critical values are given and exact power comparisons are made with the previously proposed tests. The new test is shown to be more powerful for f...

An Improved SSPCO Optimization Algorithm for Solve of the Clustering Problem

Swarm Intelligence (SI) is an innovative artificial intelligence technique for solving complex optimization problems. Data clustering is the process of grouping data into a number of clusters. The goal of data clustering is to make the data in the same cluster share a high degree of similarity while being very dissimilar to data from other clusters. Clustering algorithms have been applied to a ...

Scale and shape issues in focused cluster power for count data

BACKGROUND: Interest in the development of statistical methods for disease cluster detection has experienced rapid growth in recent years. Evaluations of statistical power provide important information for the selection of an appropriate statistical method in environmentally-related disease cluster investigations. Published power evaluations have not yet addressed the use of models for focused ...
