Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Environmental Studies, Exercise Science & Community Health, Mathematics & Statistics, Nursing, Physics, Psychology, Allied Health & Life Sciences, and Environmental Diagnostics & Bioremediation. About you: What department are you from? Used GIS?

3 What is GIS? A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer-based tool for mapping and analyzing things that exist and events that happen on earth. GIS technology integrates common database operations such as query and statistical analysis with the unique visualization and geographic analysis benefits offered by maps. ~ ESRI Everything exists or happens at a location Mapping software allows us to organize and model events and things as themed layers Ask questions about relationships through query and spatial analysis Visual outputs, compelling display through maps

10 COSEH Student Examples Natural Hazards The goal was to use 2011 USGS 30M Digital Elevation Models (topography) and the Hydrology Tools found within ESRI s Spatial Analyst Extension to determine drainage flow in a potential crisis situation US Census Data to create a population analysis for the areas in proximity to the drainage areas. These findings will aid local and state officials in hazard planning and response time. Disaster Relief The goal was to map the evacuation zones around the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and determine the at-risk population within each of those zones. Evacuation & Emergency Management Students were presented with a disaster scenario in which a major storm surge flooded into Tampa Bay, students were responsible for routing the relief workers and refugees to the nearest shelter.

14 APPLICATIONS IN SPATIAL EPIDEMIOLOGY Dr. Raid W. Amin Department of Mathematics and Statistics

15 OUTLINE SaTScan: A disease surveillance software Cancer Rates in Florida Particulate Matter PM2.5 Quality of Life Index for US Counties Homicide-Suicide in Florida Shark Attacks High School Performance in Florida

16 SaTScan: A disease surveillance software Spatial analysis for this study was done using SaTScan, developed by Dr. Martin Kulldorff (Harvard University). The model maximizes the likelihood function over circles of varying sizes. The circle with the highest maximum log likelihood ratio is least likely to have occurred by chance. The p-value for the cluster is obtained using Monte Carlo replications. Monte Carlo hypothesis testing uses the data set to create random sets of the data, performs the same analysis, and compares the maximum likelihood ratio of the real set with those of the random data sets.

17 For practical reasons the centroids of counties or zip codes are used to position the scanning windows. The size of the windows is varied continuously from zero size to maximum size (that the window never contains more than 50 percent of the total population). Therefore, the window is not fixed in position and size. The outcomes are several (a huge amount) windows spread over the map. Each could contain a cancer case cluster.

18 The standard purely spatial scan statistic imposes a circular window on the map. The window is in turn centered on each of several possible grid points positioned throughout the study region. For each grid point, the radius of the window varies continuously in size from zero to some upper limit specified by the user. In this way, the circular window is flexible both in location and size. In total, the method creates an infinite number of distinct geographical circles with different sets of neighboring data locations within them. Each circle is a possible candidate cluster. The space-time scan statistic may be used for either a single retrospective analysis, using historic data, or for time-periodic prospective surveillance, where the analysis is repeated for example every day, week, month or year. Ref:

19 SaTScan o Purely Spatial Analysis o Space-time Analysis

20 Probability Model: Poisson Model The Poisson likelihood function for each window is calculated by the following formula. Here, N = total number of cancer cases over the whole area and n = number of cancer cases within the window = expected number of cancer cases within the window (under the null hypothesis) n n N n N N n

21 THE NORMAL MODEL The normal model10 is designed for continuous data. For each individual or for each observation, called a case, there is a single continuous attribute that may be either negative or positive. The model can also be used for ordinal data when there are many categories. That is, different cases are allowed to have the same attribute value. Example: For the normal model, the data may consist of the birth weight and residential census tract for all newborns, with an interest in finding clusters with lower birth weight. One individual is then a case. Alternatively, the data may consist of the average birth weight in each census tract. It is then the census tract that is the case, and it is important to use the weighted normal model, since each average will have a different variance due to a different number of births in each tract. It is important to note that while the normal model uses a likelihood function based on the normal distribution, the true distribution of the continuous attribute must not be normal. The statistical inference (p-value) is valid for any continuous distribution. The reason for this is that the randomization is not done by generating simulated data from the normal distribution, but rather, by permuting the space-time locations and the continuous attribute (e.g. birth weight) of the observations. While still being formally valid, the results can be greatly influenced by extreme outliers, so it may be wise to truncate such observations before doing the analysis.

22 A scan statistic for continuous data based on the normal probability Model The circular spatial scan statistic is defined through a large number of overlapping circles. For each circle z, a log likelihood ratio LLR(z) is calculated, and the test statistic is defined as the maximum LLR over all circles. The statistical significance of the most likely cluster is evaluated using Monte Carlo hypothesis testing. Rather than generating random data from the normal distribution, a large set of random data sets are created by randomly permuting the observed values xi and their corresponding locations s. Martin Kulldorff, Lan Huang, and Kevin Konty. Ref:

23 Testing Procedure The window with the maximum likelihood is determined (labeled as most likely cluster). Repeating this procedure for random replications of the dataset by a Monte Carlo simulation leads to the p-value for the test. If the null hypothesis could be rejected (p-value below defined alpha-level) the certain cluster can be stated as significant.
