Tests for directional space-time interaction in epidemiological data.
Spatial incidence of disease is often recorded with time of occurrence as an ordering label. This ordering can be used to provide distance based tests for joint clustering of cases in space and time. Two different tests are proposed: one where a control disease is available, and the other where only standardized rates within census regions are available.
