... The spatial scan test, which is often carried out by maximizing a likelihood ratio-based statistic over a collection of cluster candidates, is widely used in cluster detection and disease surveillance. As the likelihood ratio statistic may not be available if the exact distribution of the response variable is not specified, a Wald-based spatial scan approach is proposed. The idea is to construct a ...
