Multivariate scan statistics for disease surveillance.
In disease surveillance, there are often many different data sets or data groupings for which we wish to do surveillance. If each data set is analysed separately rather than combined, the statistical power to detect an outbreak that is present in all data sets may suffer due to low numbers in each. On the other hand, if the data sets are added by taking the sum of the counts, then a signal that...
متن کاملA Nonparametric Scan Statistic for Multivariate Disease Surveillance
OBJECTIVE We present a new method for multivariate outbreak detection, the “nonparametric scan statistic” (NPSS). NPSS enables fast and accurate detection of emerging space-time clusters using multiple disparate data streams, including nontraditional data sources where standard parametric model assumptions are incorrect. BACKGROUND Expectation-based scan statistics [1] extend the traditional sp...
متن کاملFast Bayesian scan statistics for multivariate event detection and visualization.
The multivariate Bayesian scan statistic (MBSS) is a recently proposed, general framework for event detection and characterization in multivariate space-time data. MBSS integrates prior information and observations from multiple data streams in a Bayesian framework, computing the posterior probability of each type of event in each space-time region. MBSS has been shown to have many advantages o...
متن کاملBayesian Network Scan Statistics for Multivariate Pattern Detection
We review three recently proposed scan statistic methods for multivariate pattern detection. Each method models the relationship between multiple observed and hidden variables using a Bayesian network structure, drawing inferences about the underlying pattern type and the affected subset of the data. We first discuss the multivariate Bayesian scan statistic (MBSS) proposed by Neill and Cooper (...
