Title:	The Use of Multiple Addresses to Enhance Cluster Detection

Abstract:	Typically in spatial statistics, each observation corresponds to a single spatial location. We consider situations where each observation may consist of two or more spatial locations, which we call "multiple address" observations. We also discuss statistical methodology for handling multiple addresses in the context of cluster detection and suggest possible applications to real-time surveillance systems and biosurveillance (early detection of biological or chemical attacks).
