Each dataset was then reanalysed under a clustering programme (STRUCTURE) to assess host-specificity within each subpopulation.
The results of both of the STRUCTURE and TESS Bayesian clustering programmes were visualised using DISTRUCT, version 1.1 [ 70].
We used the Cluster 3.0 programme (average linkage, Pearson's correlation).
Analysis of the histological findings on an objective basis, using a cluster analysis programme, provided an encouraging degree of separation into the diagnostic groups.
We then applied a Kulldorff spatial scan statistic (implemented within the SaTScan spatial cluster detection programme [ 14]) to identify clusters of incident TB infections (either high or low numbers of infections) at a local area level using an exponential survival model [ 15].
In addition, if risk behaviours cluster, prevention programmes aimed at changing clusters of risk behaviours, rather than separate risk behaviours, could lessen the burden on public health services.

To address the need for internationally comparable information about the frequency and situation of children with disabilities, UNICEF has recommended that countries include the Ten Questions screen for disability in the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) programme.
The global Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) programme is the centerpiece of this strategy.
