摘要:

Kulldorff(1997)关于空间扫描统计(SSS)的开创性论文产生了许多方法,这些方法考虑了不同的感兴趣区域、不同的统计模型和不同的近似值,同时在流行病学、环境监测和国土安全方面也有许多应用。SSS提供了一种方法来严格测试异常的存在,并提供统计保证,如何“异常”,异常。然而,这些方法依赖于定义特定区域,其中点贡献的空间信息限于区域内部或外部的二进制0或1,而实际上异常将倾向于遵循远离震中的具有衰减密度的平滑分布。在这项工作中,我们提出了一种方法,解决了这个缺点,通过一个连续的扫描统计,概括SSS允许点的贡献,由内核定义。我们提供了大量的实验和理论结果表明,我们的方法可以有效地计算,同时提供高统计功效检测异常区域。

英文摘要:

Kulldorff's (1997) seminal paper on spatial scan statistics (SSS) has led to many methods considering different regions of interest, different statistical models, and different approximations while also having numerous applications in epidemiology, environmental monitoring, and homeland security. SSS provides a way to rigorously test for the existence of an anomaly and provide statistical guarantees as to how "anomalous" that anomaly is. However, these methods rely on defining specific regions where the spatial information a point contributes is limited to binary 0 or 1, of either inside or outside the region, while in reality anomalies will tend to follow smooth distributions with decaying density further from an epicenter. In this work, we propose a method that addresses this shortcoming through a continuous scan statistic that generalizes SSS by allowing the point contribution to be defined by a kernel. We provide extensive experimental and theoretical results that shows our methods can be computed efficiently while providing high statistical power for detecting anomalous regions.
