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.
