Abstract:Spatial scan statistics are well‐known methods widely used to detect spatial clusters of events. Furthermore, several spatial scan statistics models have been applied to the spatial analysis of time‐to‐event data. However, these models do not take account of potential correlations between the observations of individuals within the same spatial unit or potential spatial dependence between spatial units. To overcome this problem, we have developed a scan statistic based on a Cox model with shared frailty and tha… Show more
