Temporal cluster detection methods are used to investigate disease clusters in time, whether cases of disease tend to aggregate in particular periods. All are used on group-level data, though Grimson's method can be used on individual-level data as well. These methods can be used to evaluate disease frequency or case counts in a single or in multiple time series.

♦ Grimson's method will analyze spatio-temporal data, similar to multiple time series data.
