Table 8 Simulation results for hotspots with changing duration

From: Detecting and diagnosing hotspots for the enhanced management of hospital emergency departments in Queensland, Australia

Hotspot	Number found by hotspot peak		Number found by hotspot end
Hotspot	Univariate control chart	Surveillance tree	Univariate control chart	Surveillance tree
Peak at Day 3	109	61	303	261
Peak at Day 7	407	634	725	968
Peak at Day 14	721	981	922	1000
Peak at Day 21	873	1000	977	1000

The performance results for each method over the 1000 simulations for the same hotspot type but with changing hotspot duration.
