Abstract

Spatial scan statistics are widely used as a technique to detect geographical disease clusters for different types of data. It has been pointed out that the Poisson-based spatial scan statistic tends to detect rather larger clusters by absorbing insignificant neighbors with non-elevated risks. We suspect that the spatial scan statistic for ordinal data may also have similar undesirable phenomena. In this paper, we propose to apply a restricted likelihood ratio to spatial scan statistics for ordinal outcome data to circumvent such a phenomenon. Through a simulation study, we demonstrated not only that original spatial scan statistics have the over-detection phenomenon but also that our proposed methods have reasonable or better performance compared with the original methods. We illustrated the proposed methods using a real data set from the 2014 Health Screening Program of Korea with the diagnosis results of normal, caution, suspected disease, and diagnosed with disease as an ordinal outcome.
