| Research Abstract |
In spatial epidemiology, clustering test based on a scan statistic is used for detecting disease clusters. We aimed at proposing a new test statistic which can detect the clusters more accurate than conventional statistics. We proposed a new space-time scan statistic which implements an outbreak model to capture localized emerging disease outbreaks more timely and correctly, and our illustrations and simulations showed that the proposed statistic is well suited for detecting disease outbreaks.
