Product Description

Clusters of disease, such as leukemia or breast cancer, can be caused by environmental factors, or they can arise by chance. How can we tell whether an observed cluster is real? Use ClusterSeer. ClusterSeer's state-of-the-art methods allow you to determine whether a cluster is significant, where it is located, and when it arose, providing insight into the origin, causes, and correlates of disease.

ClusterSeer evaluates whether disease clusters occur near a presumed source of risk, or it locates clustering without a known focus. Determine the significance of a cluster, where it is located, and when it arose.

ClusterSeer offers statistical methods not currently available in any other software. It can be used alone, or in conjunction with BoundarySeer for an even fuller perspective on your data.

ClusterSeer was developed at BioMedware , using grant funding from the National Cancer Institute. These grants were awarded through scientific peer review, validating the relevance and innovation of our approach.
