    Area of Science:

    • Biostatistics
    • Epidemiology
    • Spatial Analysis

    Background:

    • Klauber's two-sample randomization tests are established for detecting space-time clustering.
    • Existing methods are limited to comparing two samples, restricting broader epidemiological applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To extend Klauber's two-sample tests for space-time clustering to accommodate more than two samples (q-sample test).
    • To provide a flexible statistical framework for analyzing complex disease clustering patterns across multiple populations or time periods.

    Main Methods:

    • The study adapts Mantel's one-sample test approach for the q-sample scenario.
    • A normal approximation is developed to facilitate statistical inference.
    • The q-sample test allows for the evaluation of up to 2q-1 distinct statistical models.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed q-sample test effectively extends the analysis of space-time clustering to multiple groups.
    • A normal approximation provides a computationally efficient method for hypothesis testing.
    • The method is demonstrated with both contrived and real-world epidemiological data.

    Conclusions:

    • The q-sample randomization test offers a powerful and adaptable tool for space-time cluster analysis in public health research.
    • The developed method enhances the ability to investigate disease aggregation across multiple human and animal populations.
    • The "analysis of clustering" table provides a novel way to present results, analogous to analysis of variance tables.
