What is a join count statistic?

The join count statistic relates the number of observed connections between the zones of property “presence” and those of property “absence”, with the theoretical number of connections of a random distribution.

What is Getis Ord Gi?

The Getis–Ord Gi statistic is a distinct perspective on the question of geographical clustering from other measures, like the Local Geary’s ci or Local Moran’s Ii statistics. The Getis–Ord Gi statistic measures whether the area around site i tends to be larger (or smaller) than areas that are not near site i.

How cluster and outlier analysis Anselin Local Moran’s I works?

The Cluster and Outlier Analysis (Anselin Local Moran’s I) tool identifies concentrations of high values, concentrations of low values, and spatial outliers. It can help you answer questions such as these: Where are the sharpest boundaries between affluence and poverty in a study area?

How do you interpret global Moran’s I?

If the values in the dataset tend to cluster spatially (high values cluster near other high values; low values cluster near other low values), the Moran’s Index will be positive. When high values repel other high values, and tend to be near low values, the Index will be negative.

How do you calculate Moran’s I?

The Moran’s statistic is calculated using the basic form, which is divided by the sample variance:s2 = (Σ(yi– ̄y)2)/n).

How do you read Ord Gi Getis?

Interpretation. The Gi* statistic returned for each feature in the dataset is a z-score. For statistically significant positive z-scores, the larger the z-score is, the more intense the clustering of high values (hot spot).

What is a cold spot in GIS?

A hot spot/cold spot is an undesirable tightly-focused local temperature variation which often occurs when data center equipment is improperly cooled.

What does Moran’s I measure?

The Spatial Autocorrelation (Global Moran’s I) tool measures spatial autocorrelation based on both feature locations and feature values simultaneously. Given a set of features and an associated attribute, it evaluates whether the pattern expressed is clustered, dispersed, or random.
