Status |
In progress |
Description |
The aim of this methods project is to enable and pilot test sequential TreeScan analyses over time. This project will develop adjustments to tree-based scan statistics (Unconditional Bernoulli) that will enable sequential versions of TreeScan for the fixed-window self-controlled and propensity score matched approaches. Sequential TreeScan will also be performed on an agreed-upon example problem (i.e., a test case) in a non-distributed but routinely updated data source (Optum Clinformatics). |
