Spatial scan statistics in loglinear models

چکیده

The likelihood ratio spatial scan statistic has been widely used in spatial disease surveillance and spatial cluster detection applications. In order to better understand cluster mechanisms, an equivalent model-based approach is proposed to the spatial scan statistic that unifies currently loosely coupled methods for including ecological covariates in the spatial scan test. In addition, the utility of the model-based approach with a Wald-based scan statistic is demonstrated to account for overdispersion and heterogeneity in background rates. Simulation and case studies show that both the likelihood ratio-based and Wald-based scan statistics are comparable with the original spatial scan statistic. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.

Loglinear Models: An approach based on φ-Divergences

In this paper we present a review of some results about inference based on φ-divergence measures, under assumptions of multinomial sampling and loglinear models. The minimum φ-divergence estimator, which is seen to be a generalization of the maximum likelihood estimator is considered. This estimator is used in a φdivergence measure which is the basis of new statistics for solving three importan...

Minimum Φ-divergence Estimator and Hierarchical Testing in Loglinear Models

In this paper we consider inference based on very general divergence measures, under assumptions of multinomial sampling and loglinear models. We define the minimum φ-divergence estimator, which is seen to be a generalization of the maximum likelihood estimator. This estimator is then used in a φ-divergence goodness-of-fit statistic, which is the basis of two new statistics for solving the prob...

Bootstrapping Goodness of Fit Statistics in Loglinear Poisson Models

The possible discrepancy between a hypothesized model and the observed data is measured by so called Goodness of Fit Statistics. In order to decide whether the observed discrepancy is substantial, the distributions of these statistics under the hypothesised model are needed to perform a statistical test. Because of the diiculty to compute the exact distributions, just when the sample size is sm...

Spatial analysis of influenza incidence in EMRO using flexible scan statistics

Introduction: Influenza is an infectious and severe respiratory disease. It is one of the major problems of public health. In order to determine the spatial distribution and areas with over-expected of a disease including influenza, it can be effective in identifying environmental hazards and fair distribution of health services. In this study, the geographical distribution of the influenza and...

Loglinear Residual Tests of Moran’ I Autocorrelation: An Application to Kentucky Breast Cancer Data

Spatial regressions have been widely used, but their use with the permutation tests of residuals either in linear or loglinear models is rarely seen. In the present study, we have linked the Cliff-Ord permutation test of Moran’s I on linear regression errors to loglinear regression residuals under asymptotic normality. We devised both Pearson residual Moran’s IP R and deviance residual Moran’s ...
