Introduction

Tango, Toshiro

Pages: 1 –7

[In epidemiological studies, it is often of importance to evaluate whether a disease is randomly distributed or tends to occur as clusters over time and/or space after adjusting for known confounding factors, that may provide clues to the etiology of the disease. There has recently been great...

Clustering and Clusters

Tango, Toshiro

Pages: 9 –31

[In this chapter, we shall show several spatial point patterns in a hypothetical area of a square 10 km on each side to understand what “clustering” or “a cluster” means and to get a basic idea of how to approach detection of clustering or clusters.]
Available

Disease Mapping: Visualization of Spatial Clustering

Tango, Toshiro

Pages: 33 –47

[Disease mapping is the most basic way of visualizing the spatial distribution of the disease of interest in a defined area.]
Available

Tests for Temporal Clustering

Tango, Toshiro

Pages: 49 –70

[We shall consider here the problem of detecting disease clustering in time, which is illustrated by the following two examples (Tables 4.1–4.2).]
Available

General Tests for Spatial Clustering: Regional Count Data

Tango, Toshiro

Pages: 71 –111

[We shall consider here the problem of detecting disease clustering in space based on regional count data, which is illustrated by the following two examples.]
Available

General Tests for Spatial Clustering : Case-Control Point Data

Tango, Toshiro

Pages: 113 –147

[We shall consider here the problem of detecting disease clustering in space based on case-control location data, which is illustrated by the following two examples with Tables 6.1 and 6.2.]
Available

Tests for Space-Time Clustering

Tango, Toshiro

Pages: 149 –179

[In a search for evidence that a disease such as leukemia is indeed an infectious disease, perhaps of viral etiology, interest will focus on whether or not the disease cases occur in clusters. In this case, a cluster will constitute a group of cases that are close both in space and time, which is...
Available

Focused Tests for Spatial Clustering

Tango, Toshiro

Pages: 181 –210

[Focused clustering studies examine raised disease risk around prespecified point sources such as nuclear installations and incinerators, which are illustrated by the following two examples.]
Available

Space-Time Scan Statistics

Tango, Toshiro

Pages: 211 –233

[Tests for space-time interaction or space-time clustering, described in Chapter 7, are designed for evaluating whether cases tend to come in groups or are located close to each other no matter when and where they occur. Space-time scan statistics, on the other hand, are designed for both...
