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 کاملEvaluation of the Gini Coefficient in Spatial Scan Statistics for Detecting Irregularly Shaped Clusters
Spatial scan statistics with circular or elliptic scanning windows are commonly used for cluster detection in various applications, such as the identification of geographical disease clusters from epidemiological data. It has been pointed out that the method may have difficulty in correctly identifying non-compact, arbitrarily shaped clusters. In this paper, we evaluated the Gini coefficient fo...
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 کاملA flexibly shaped spatial scan statistic for detecting clusters
BACKGROUND The spatial scan statistic proposed by Kulldorff has been applied to a wide variety of epidemiological studies for cluster detection. This scan statistic, however, uses a circular window to define the potential cluster areas and thus has difficulty in correctly detecting actual noncircular clusters. A recent proposal by Duczmal and Assunção for detecting noncircular clusters is shown...
متن کاملDetecting Model Mis-specification in fMRI using Scan Statistics
starting at time t, where K(t) is a weighting function. Note that it is possible to use any kernel function here (e.g. Uniform or Gaussian) that sums to 1. Under H0: Γ=0, the statistic Yw follows a normal distribution with mean 0 for all w, t. The window that yields the largest value, gives the strongest evidence of model misfit (See Fig. 2). This value is compared to the maximum that would be ...
