Determining the optimal spatial and temporal thresholds that maximize the predictive accuracy of the prospective space-time scan statistic (PSTSS) hotspot method

The spatial and temporal thresholds (K and T) are two key parameters that control the performance of the prospective space-time scan statistical (PSTSS) hotspot method. This study proposes an objective function approach, in which the optimal values of K and T that maximize the mean hit rate (a measu...
