Produktbeschreibung

Methods to monitor geographic patterns have received growing interest in recent years. Using an integrated approach, Statistical Detection and Monitoring of Geographic Clusters provides a thorough review of methods for cluster detection, organized according to the different types of hypotheses that can be investigated using these techniques. The book presents various methods that allow for quick detection of emergent geographic clusters. It includes actual datasets and simplified examples to illustrate key concepts. The authors also discuss the surveillance of geographic patterns and describe applications using GeoSurveillance software, which is available for download on the web.
