Developing a Clustering-Based Empirical Bayes Analysis Method for Hotspot Identification by Yajie Zou, Xinzhi Zhong, John Ash, Ziqiang Zeng, Yinhai Wang, Yanxi Hao, Yichuan Peng

“…As crash data often contain underlying heterogeneity that, in essence, can make them appear to be generated from distinct subpopulations, methods are needed to select similar sites in a principled manner. To overcome this possible heterogeneity problem, EB-based HSID methods that use common clustering methodologies (e.g., mixture models, K-means, and hierarchical clustering) to select “similar” sites for building SPFs are developed. …”
