Global Spatial Autocorrelation/Evidence
Method evidence record

Global Spatial Autocorrelation

Global Spatial Autocorrelation measures the degree to which similar values cluster together across an entire study area. Rather than identifying where clusters occur, it yields a single summary statistic — most commonly Moran's I — that quantifies whether spatial proximity coincides with value similarity, dissimilarity, or randomness across all observations simultaneously.
