Cluster analysis of disease occurrence has a long history in acute models' it has only recently begun to be used for chronic models. This extrapolation of methods has resulted in severe limitations and several modifications. Two cluster reports from Florida are given as examples for a review of the prevalent statistical techniques available for cancer cluster analysis. The methods are described and discussed. The significance of the two clusters is left unsolved.
疾病发生的聚类分析在急性模型中有着悠久的历史，只是直到最近才开始用于慢性模型。这种方法的外推导致了严重的局限性以及一些改进。来自佛罗里达州的两份聚类报告被作为实例，用于回顾癌症聚类分析中可用的流行统计技术。对这些方法进行了描述和讨论。这两个聚类的意义仍未得到解决。
