Asymptotic Distribution of Score Statistics for Spatial Cluster Detection with Censored Data

Cook, Gold, and Li (2007, Biometrics 63, 540-549) extended the Kulldorff (1997, Communications in Statistics 26, 1481-1496) scan statistic for spatial cluster detection to survival-type observations.

Optimal detection of a jump in the intensity of a Poisson process or in a density with likelihood ratio statistics

We consider the problem of detecting a 'bump' in the intensity of a Poisson process or in a density. We analyze two types of likelihood ratio-based statistics, which allow for exact finite sample ...
