Objectives
In this tutorial you will detect possible clustering of breast cancer cases and controls in simulated data. You will learn how to evaluate the presence of case and control changes through time and how to assess the global and local clustering of residential histories using Q-statistics. You will also look at the sensitivity of your results to k, the number of nearest neighbors considered.
