An empirical comparison of spatial scan statistics for outbreak detection
BACKGROUND The spatial scan statistic is a widely used statistical method for the automatic detection of disease clusters from syndromic data. Recent work in the disease surveillance community has proposed many variants of Kulldorff's original spatial scan statistic, including expectation-based Poisson and Gaussian statistics, and incorporates a variety of time series analysis methods to obtain...

متن کاملLearning Outbreak Regions in Bayesian Spatial Scan Statistics
The problem of anomaly detection for biosurveillance is typically approached in an unsupervised setting, due to the small amount of labeled training data with positive examples of disease outbreaks. On the other hand, such model-based methods as the Bayesian scan statistic (BSS) naturally allow for adaptation to the supervised learning setting, provided that the models can be learned from a sma...
متن کاملSupport Vector Subset Scan for Spatial Outbreak Detection
Introduction Neill’s fast subset scan2 detects significant spatial patterns of disease by efficiently maximizing a log-likelihood ratio statistic over subsets of locations, but may result in patterns that are not spatially compact. The penalized fast subset scan (PFSS)3 provides a flexible framework for adding soft constraints to the fast subset scan, rewarding or penalizing inclusion of indivi...
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...
