Global Hot Spot Analysis/Evidence
Method evidence record

Global Hot Spot Analysis

Global Hot Spot Analysis uses the Getis-Ord G statistic to determine whether high or low attribute values are spatially concentrated across an entire study area. It answers one question: is there overall clustering of high values (a hot spot tendency) or low values (a cold spot tendency) in the dataset as a whole, producing a single summary test for the full region.
