Space-Time Geary's C/Evidence
Method evidence record

Space-Time Geary's C

Space-Time Geary's C extends the classical Geary contiguity ratio to panel or longitudinal spatial data, measuring autocorrelation across both geographic neighbors and adjacent time periods simultaneously. Values below 1 indicate positive space-time clustering; values above 1 indicate dispersion, and a value near 1 suggests random arrangement across the space-time lattice.
