Bayesian Hot Spot Analysis/Evidence

Bayesian Hot Spot Analysis

Bayesian Hot Spot Analysis identifies spatial clusters of elevated risk or intensity by combining observed data with prior beliefs about spatial structure. It uses Bayesian smoothing — pooling information across neighboring areas — to stabilize estimates in small areas and then flags locations where the posterior probability of exceeding a risk threshold is high.
