Global Getis-Ord Gi* Statistic

The Global Getis-Ord Gi* statistic measures the overall degree of spatial clustering of high or low values across an entire study region. It answers whether the study area, taken as a whole, exhibits significant concentration of high values (hot clustering) or low values (cold clustering), returning a single summary Z-score for the entire dataset.
