This article describes the Cancer Atlas Viewer: free, downloadable software for the exploration of United States cancer mortality data. We demonstrate the software by exploring spatio-temporal patterns in colon cancer mortality rates for African-American and white females and males in the southeastern United States over the period 1970-1995. We compare the results of two cluster statistics: the local Moran and the local G*, through time.. Overall, the two statistics reach similar conclusions for most locations, although where they disagree reveals some interesting patterns in the data. There are only two persistent clusters of colon cancer mortality, and these are clusters of low values.

Cancer Atlas Viewer 中的时空可视化和分析。

本文介绍了 Cancer Atlas Viewer：用于探索美国癌症死亡率数据的免费、可下载软件。我们通过探索 1970 年至 1995 年期间美国东南部非裔美国人和白人女性和男性结肠癌死亡率的时空模式来演示该软件。我们比较了两个集群统计的结果：本地 Moran 和本地 G*，随着时间的推移。总的来说，这两个统计对大多数位置得出了相似的结论，尽管它们不一致的地方揭示了数据中的一些有趣模式。只有两个持续存在的结肠癌死亡率集群，并且这些集群是低值集群。
