Robust Getis-Ord Gi*/Evidence
Method evidence record

Robust Getis-Ord Gi*

The Robust Getis-Ord Gi* statistic extends the classical Gi* hot-spot measure to handle outliers in spatial data. By using robust estimators of the mean and variance — such as trimmed means, medians, or down-weighted influential observations — it identifies statistically significant spatial clusters of high or low values even when the attribute distribution contains extreme values that would distort the standard Gi*.
