In our study, we used a retrospective space–time scan statistic with the permutation model (Mostashari et al., ) to identify space–time clusters of higher than expected numbers of CWD‐positive deer removed by culling. We defined space–time clusters as locations during a period where the number of CWD‐positive deer that were removed through the culling program was significantly higher than expected by random chance alone. We used a space–time permutation model, which is valuable in assessing large surveillance datasets with uneven sampling across years, because it does not require information on the background population, accounts for spatial and temporal patterns, and adjusts for multiple comparisons (Mostashari et al., ; So et al., ). Moreover, compared to spatial models, the space–time scan statistic provides a time component that allows differentiating between older and more recent clusters. We identified four space–time clusters where the CWD cases among deer removed through the culling program were higher than expected (Figure , Table ). Two space–time clusters (C1‐ST and C4‐ST) completely, and one cluster (C2‐ST) partially overlapped with the spatial cluster and covered a long period (2003–2010), suggesting a continuous and localized CWD problem among deer populations, and the need for a persistent localized culling effort to control CWD. However, compared to the third space–time cluster (C3‐ST), these clusters were older, suggesting their diminishing importance. On the other hand, the third space–time cluster (C3‐ST) was located south of the C1‐ST and C4‐ST clusters, and occurred more recently (2017–2020), suggesting a new southward expansion of CWD where culling is conducted and there is a need for an increased effort to control the spread of CWD. We note that CWD surveillance of hunter–harvested deer detected an emerging CWD space–time cluster in an area of eastern Jo Daviess and western Stephenson counties (Hedman et al., ) where there is a considerable amount of deer habitat and deer population. However, our study did not identify this site as a cluster based on a locally focussed culling, where a greater than expected number of CWD‐positive deer were culled. This study did not consider the amount of deer habitat, the deer densities in CWD‐infected areas, or the lack of access of wildlife management staff to conduct culling in and around CWD‐infected sections. Therefore, this emerging CWD positive area should remain under CWD management and evaluation to better understand local factors impacting the emergence of CWD and reduce CWD transmission rates., About this project: This shows, for a given situation, what the expected number of runs scored in the rest of the inning is, as well as the historical distribution of runs. This is based on the same data that the Win Expectancy Finder uses. The data is from MLB games from 1957-2023, including postseason games. From a technical standpoint, I got to use XPath to select the elements from the XML , Read Next: 30-Point Illinois Deer is a Doe Interestingly, his friend who owns the farm, Alan, shot a 7-point doe on the same place six years before he got this one. Laird’s doe was aged at 6 years old, and was officially scored at 200 4/8 inches (gross) and 189 7/8 inches (net). It is now the world-record antlered doe..
