Σύνοψη	Spatial Stratified Heterogeneity, commonly known as Geodetector, is a framework introduced by Jinfeng Wang and colleagues in 2010 for measuring and detecting spatial heterogeneity in data and identifying environmental risk factors. It quantifies the degree to which a given factor (variable) explains spatial variation in an outcome and is particularly valuable for environmental epidemiology, ecology, and geographical analysis where spatial non-stationarity is common.	Cluster sampling is a probability sampling technique in which the population is divided into naturally occurring groups (clusters), a random sample of clusters is selected, and all — or a random subset of — members within each selected cluster are studied. It is especially practical when a complete population list is unavailable or when units are geographically dispersed, making individual random selection prohibitively expensive. One-stage cluster sampling surveys every member of selected clusters; two-stage designs add a second random draw within clusters.	Stratified sampling is a probability sampling design in which the target population is partitioned into non-overlapping, exhaustive subgroups called strata, and independent probability samples are drawn within each stratum. Formalized by William G. Cochran in Sampling Techniques (1977), the method exploits known population structure to reduce variance and guarantee representativeness of all major subgroups, making it a cornerstone of large-scale survey research and official statistics.
