摘要
This article investigates the accuracy of approximations for distributions of two-dimensional discrete scan statistics. A product-type approximation, a Bonferroni-type inequality, two Poisson approximations and a compound Poisson approximation are studied. A simulation study is presented to evaluate the accuracy of these approximations. Based on the numerical results it is evident that the standard Poisson approximation can be significantly improved.
