Although a wide range of methods have been proposed for retrospective spatio-temporal data analysis, the space scan statistic, in particular, has become one of the most popular methods for detection of disease clusters and is being widely used by many public health departments and researchers. Algorithmically, the space scan statistic method imposes a circular window on the map under study and moves the center of the circle over the area so that at different positions the window includes different sets of neighboring cases. Developed for crime hotspot analysis, RNNH is based on the well-known nearest neighbor hierarchical clustering (NNH) method, combining the hierarchical clustering capabilities with kernel density interpolation techniques. ./cache/cord-017864-cbkrve2h.txt ./txt/cord-017864-cbkrve2h.txt
