Disease Cluster Analysis Data Export

Deployed

The Disease Cluster Analysis Data Export allows users to pre-process CWD Warehouse sample data for immediate upload into the SaTScan software. The SaTScan software analyzes spatial and temporal data for any of the following interrelated purposes: * Perform geographical surveillance of disease * Detect spatial or space-time disease clusters * Test whether a disease is randomly distributed over space, time, or space and time * Evaluate the statistical significance of disease clusters

Geographical Scale

  • A collection of exact locations of hosts (latitude, longitude)

Required Data

  • Sample data, including exact latitude/longitude and exact harvest date

User Inputs

  • Cervid species of interest
  • Season-years(s) of interest
  • Desired scan type (spatial or temporal)

Outputs

  • A downloadable file of processed sample data for use in the SaTScan import wizard
  • A downloadable file with a summary of Warehouse-selected inputs to assist in model creation in the SaTScan software
