Abstrakt: The article presents research which examined the potential results of the application of spatiotemporal surveillance methods along with spatial correlation in public health studies. The authors suggested a set of multivariate surveillance schemes derived from well-known detection methods that are commonly used in multivariate statistical process control which are dependent on likelihood ratio tests. They also performed Monte Carlo simulations in order to assess the impact of the methods on health researches.
