This paper generalizes the index for temporal clustering proposed by Tango in two ways: it allows for nonuniform population distributions across the study period and it is applicable to the detection of disease clustering in space where there are variations in population distribution among categories of the confounding factor such as age and sex. Applications are illustrated with 1833 cases of mortality from uterine cancer in the Tokyo metropolitan area during 1978-1982.
本文从两个方面对Tango提出的时间聚类指数进行了推广：它允许研究期间的人口分布不均匀，并且适用于在年龄和性别等混杂因素类别之间人口分布存在差异的空间中疾病聚集的检测。以1978 - 1982年东京都市区1833例子宫癌死亡病例为例说明了其应用。
