Support of statistical packages #83

Open devilgate opened 5 years ago

devilgate commented 5 years ago

From the to-do file:

Existing RIF statistical functionality such as Satscan (for cluster dectection), INLA and LinBUGS/WinBUGS (for Bayesian Smoothing) will continue to be supported

Peter:

Satscan and LinBUGS/WinBUGS be supported via the extract ZIP file - i.e. create a script to run them and produce worked examples. Satscan is available as an R package rstatscan but this calls statscan and therefore is limited to Windows only Tomcats. The R package SpatialEpi contains a function called kulldorff, which performs the purely spatial scan statistic with either the Poisson or Bernoulli probability model. The package also contains many other useful methods that are unrelated to scan statistics and not part of the SaTScan software.
