Abstract

There are not infallible disease clusters methods, so it is necessary to know exactly when their results are reliable. In this paper space data were simulated using two uniform distributions and time data, following the pattern of simple epidemic model. Behaviour of both tests: Knox and Grimson were studied. Besides the conduct of both tests with risks factors were analysed. Numerical computing were done with Mathematica software.
