Penalized likelihood and multi-objective spatial scans for the detection and inference of irregular clusters.

Background: Irregularly shape d spatial clusters are difficult to delineate. A cluster found by an algorithm often spreads through large portions of the map, impacting its geographical meaning. Penalized likelihood methods for Kulldorff’ s spatial scan statistics have been used to control the excess...
