scan statistics designed to detect clusters with irregular shapes. The proposed methods use geographical boundary … circular and elliptic scan statistics. Results show that for circular clusters, the standard circular scan statistic is optimal …, as expected. The double connection, elliptic maximum linkage scan statistics also achieve good results. For irregularly …
