4 Introduction Example Epidemiology example 1 year JFMAMJJASONDJFMAMJJASONDJFMAMJJASONDJFMAMJJASONDJFMAMJJASOND Observation of disease cases over time: N = 19 cases over a period of T = 5 years Observation The epidemiologist notes a one year period (from April 93 - through April 94) with 8 cases: 42%! Question Given 19 cases over 5 years, how unusual is it to have a 1 year period containing as many as 8 cases? A. Am rioarei (Lab. P. Painlevé) Scan Statistics Lille / 61

5 Introduction Example The answer: A First approach A First approach: X = the number of cases falling in [April 93, April 94] X Bin(19, 0.2) P(X 8) = Conclusion: atypical situation! But: it is not the answer to our question: the one year period is not xed but identied after the scanning process! A. Am rioarei (Lab. P. Painlevé) Scan Statistics Lille / 61

6 Introduction Example The answer: Correct approach The scan statistics: S = the maximum number of cases over any continuous one year period in [0, T ] Thus, P(S 8) = gives the answer to the epidemiologist question. Conclusion: no unusual situation! A. Am rioarei (Lab. P. Painlevé) Scan Statistics Lille / 61
