This function generates n_mcsim
negative binomial-distributed
data sets according to the parameters in the input table, and calculates the
value of the score scan statistic for each generated data set using the
supplied zones
. The score can be calculated either according to the
ordinary cluster model or the increasing outbreak/event/anomaly model.
negbin_mcsim(table, zones, n_mcsim, version = "ordinary")
A data.table
with at least the columns mu
and
theta
. The parameter \(\theta\) (theta) is the same as
size
in rnbinom
.
A set
of zones, each zone itself being a set
containing locations. Locations should be encoded as integers.
A positive integer; the number of replicate scan statistics to generate.
Either "ordinary" (default) or "increasing".
A numeric vector of length n_mcsim
.
