Power comparisons for an improved disease clustering test

The current note presents the power comparisons for disease clustering tests, as originally reported by Kulldorff et al. (Comput. Statist. Data Anal. 42 (2003) 665). A minor improvement to the implementation of the M-statistic, motivated by that work, results in dramatically higher power to detect clusters of disease.
