Besag & Newell's statistic looks for clusters of size k, i. e., where the number of observed cases is k. At every area where a case has appeared, the number of neighbouring regions needed to reach $k$ cases is calculated. If this number is too small, that is, too many observed cases in just a few regions with low expected cases, then it is marked as a cluster.
