Matematika FMIPA UI, Kampus Baru UI, Depok, 16424, Jawa Barat, Corresponding Author a) b) Abstract. Some problems that affect the health level in Depok are the high malnutrition rates from year to year and the more spread infectious and non-communicable diseases in some areas. Children under five years old is a vulnerable part of population to get the malnutrition and diseases. Based on this reason, it is important to observe the location and time, where and when, malnutrition in Depok happened in high intensity. To obtain the location and time of the hotspots of malnutrition and diseases that attack children under five years old, space-time scan statistics method can be used. Spacetime scan statistic is a hotspot detection method, where the area and time of information and time are taken into account simultaneously in detecting the hotspots. This method detects a hotspot with a cylindrical scanning window: the cylindrical pedestal describes the area, and the height of cylinder describe the time. Cylinders formed is a hotspot candidate that may occur, which require testing of hypotheses, whether a cylinder can be summed up as a hotspot. Hotspot detection in this study carried out by forming a combination of several variables. Some combination of variables provides hotspot detection results that tend to be the same, so as to form groups (clusters). In the case of infant health level in Depok city, health care center region in is a hotspot. According to the combination of the variables used in the detection of hotspots, health care center is most frequently as a hotspot. Hopefully the local government can take the right policy to improve the health level of children under five in the city of Depok. Keyword: Space-time scan statistic, hotspot, malnutrition, INTRODUCTION Several problems affecting the health in Indonesia, especially in Depok city is the high number of malnutritions among children under five from year to year as well as patients with pneumonia also in this age group (Profil Kesehatan Depok, 2014). Malnutrition is a condition of malnutrition at a level which is already severe, where the nutritional status is far below the standard. Pneumonia is an inflammation of tissue in one or both lungs which is usually caused by infection. At the time suffering from pneumonia, a set of air pockets at the end of the small airways in the lungs will be swollen and full of fluid. Malnutrition and pneumonia is a disease that is very susceptible to the children under five, worse pneumonia and malnutrition can cause death. It is quite alarming as considering children (children under fives) are the future generation. Many things can affect malnutrition and pneumonia include vitamin deficiencies, lack of attention to health. Routine medical eamination plays an important role in terms of improving health. To obtain the location and time of the hotspots of malnutrition, pneumonia and other cases in infants space-time scan statistic method can be used. Scan statistics is a statistical method to detect the hotspot of an event (case) in a study area. Hotspot is a critical area, an area with the highest intercity of event. Space-time scan statistic method takes into account the area and time of information simultaneously in detecting hotspots. In this study, we want to discuss about the hotspot area in Depok on malnutrition, pneumonia and some other things which pertain to children under fives, so the local government can take the appropriate action to reduce the malnutrition and morbidity (ilness rate) of Statistics and its Applications AIP Conf.

3 children under five years old in Depok. THE OBJECTIVE The objective in this study is to determine the location and time of the hotspots of malnutrition, pneumonia, weight below the red line and the death cases of a children under five years old using the space-time scan statistic. THEORETICAL BASIS The data in this study is the number of event of interest in a region in a population: An event happens as a counting process. Therefore, the number of event in a region is assumed to make a Poisson distribution and the hotspot detection is based on the Poisson distribution. Poisson Distribution Random variable is said to be the Poisson distribution if it has p.m.f (probability mass function) as follows: Poisson distributed random variables resulting from a Poisson process. Poisson process can be defined as a process that results in a number of changes within a certain interval. A random variable is said to follow the process if they meet the prostulat of poisson process as follows. Let determine the probability of a change within each interval with length Furthermore, suppose declare a function such that as eample and Postulate poisson process are where is a positive constant and, and frequent changes in a separate interval are independent. (Hogg and Craig. 1995) Space-time Scan Statistics Etraordinary event is an event with a higher intensity in a particular area and time. Space-time scan statistic method is used to detect outbreaks at a specific area and time. The eceptional results of event detection is very useful as an early warning. Therefore, the most appropriate approach is a prospective approach. In this study, the event is assumed as a Poisson distribution, and the rate of etraordinary events are assumed constant (persistent). Etraordinary event detection is done by forming a scanning window. For each scanning window formed, calculate the value of ratio likelihood. Space-time cluster (area and time of etraordinary events) is a scanning window with the highest likelihood ratio value which is statistically significant. Maimum Likelihood Estimation Maimum likelihood is a method to estimate an unknown parameter of a function of probability. Suppose is a random variable that has a certain shape of probabilities functions that depend on an unknown parameter, then the probability function of can be written as,, with is the parameter space. Here is the definition of MLE (Maimum Likelihood Estimation). Definition: Let is a random variable that has the form of the probability function The likelihood function is defined as follows: A joint probability function of random variables that depend on. In the maimum likelihood method, a function of, let will be obtained such that if change with, then the value of will maimaze the likelihood function and is called the maimum likelihood estimation (MLE) of (Hogg and Craig, 1995)
4 The Likelihood Ratio Test Likelihood ratio test is a method to test the hypothesis against the alternative hypothesis with is the overall parameter space and is the parameter space on. Let is independent random variables with each of the distribution function is Let is a set that contain all parameter point is called as the parameter space. Let is a subset of the parameter space The hypothesis will be tested, against In this study, observed events are assumed as Poisson distribution with the formation of the test statistic as follows: Pure Spatial Let N denote a spatial point, G denote the study area and Z denote the scanning window. As the scanning window (Z) moves around G, there will be, a collection of. Furthermore,, n(g), n(z) consecutively denote population in G, population in Z, number of case in G, and number of case in Z. The null hypothesis is set to be no significant cluster was generated, i.e., and the alternative hypothesis is there was significant cluster generated, i.e., where is the rate of case inside the scanning window (Z), while is the rate of case outside Z. The likelihood function for the Poisson model is a little more comple. The probability of number of points in the study area is: The density function of a specific point being observed a location is: We can hence write the likelihood function as: As before, the likelihood ratio is defined as in equation 2. We have: (1) For the numerator we first take the supremum over all and for a fied. Equation 3 takes its maimum when and so The test statistics of the likelihood ratio test can now be written as: If there is at least one zone such that 1997) (2) (3) and otherwise. is the indicator function.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Hotspot detection is carried out by observing several groups of observational data based on the number of several variables related to the children under five years old in health care center level and the number of populations size of the region in the city of Depok. Some combinations of variables produce the same region as the result of the hotspot detection, so that the region and the time that often appear in these combinations are designated as the hotspots, that is health care center region occurred in This means that this area has the worst rate of infant health compared to other regions. The Advice can be given on the results of this study are: The results of this detection can be used as a guideline for the local governments or other stakeholders in making decisions for improvement, especially in the health field. For more accurate results this study can be done by adding the patient data from health care center in the city
10 of Depok. This study is useful for the hotspot detection of other study areas or other event of interest who want to know the health condition (or others) in the regions.
