基于扫描统计的空间簇的最优快速检测

Optimal and fast detection of spatial clusters with scan statistics

Guenther Walther

摘要:

我们考虑检测多变量空间集群的Bernoulli模型与$N$的位置,其中的设计分布具有弱依赖的边缘。这些位置用矩形窗口扫描,矩形窗口的边平行于轴,并且具有不同的大小和纵横比。由于在许多扫描窗口上的多次测试,多变量扫描统计造成了统计问题,并且由于必须在许多窗口上评估统计,造成了计算问题。本文介绍的方法,导致统计最佳的推理和计算效率的算法。与传统的扫描统计量校准的主要区别在于根据扫描窗口的大小对其进行分组,然后将不同的临界值应用于不同的组的概念。结果表明,这种校准的扫描统计结果在小尺度和大尺度上的空间集群的最佳推断,以及在集群的边缘之一的情况下,生活。引入的方法,允许一个有效的近似的所有矩形的集合,同时仍然保证上述的统计最优结果。结果表明,所得到的扫描统计具有计算复杂性,几乎是线性的$N$。

英文摘要:

We consider the detection of multivariate spatial clusters in the Bernoulli model with $N$ locations, where the design distribution has weakly dependent marginals. The locations are scanned with a rectangular window with sides parallel to the axes and with varying sizes and aspect ratios. Multivariate scan statistics pose a statistical problem due to the multiple testing over many scan windows, as well as a computational problem because statistics have to be evaluated on many windows. This paper introduces methodology that leads to both statistically optimal inference and computationally efficient algorithms. The main difference to the traditional calibration of scan statistics is the concept of grouping scan windows according to their sizes, and then applying different critical values to different groups. It is shown that this calibration of the scan statistic results in optimal inference for spatial clusters on both small scales and on large scales, as well as in the case where the cluster lives on one of the marginals. Methodology is introduced that allows for an efficient approximation of the set of all rectangles while still guaranteeing the statistical optimality results described above. It is shown that the resulting scan statistic has a computational complexity that is almost linear in $N$.
