RODRIGUEZ CORVEA, Laureano et al. Parameter optimization in general Scan methods. Rev.fac.ing.univ. Antioquia [online]. 2010, n.56, pp. 222-233. ISSN 0120-6230.

The present work shows an application of Experimental Design to the methods for disease cluster detection: Classic Scan and Fuzzy Scan. A non parametric experimental design for two factors is used. The fundamental target is to study the influence of the values of the parameters: the length width and the Scan step in order to determine optimum values.

Keywords : Scan method; fuzzy logic; non parametric experimental design.
