Panel Geary's C/Evidence
Method evidence record

Panel Geary's C

Panel Geary's C extends the classic Geary contiguity ratio to panel datasets, measuring spatial autocorrelation across georeferenced units (regions, cities, countries) observed over multiple time periods. It detects whether neighboring units tend to have similar values, pooling or averaging evidence across the temporal dimension to yield more powerful inference than a single cross-section.
