Multiscale Getis-Ord Gi* Hot Spot Analysis

Multiscale Getis-Ord Gi* extends the classic local hot spot statistic by computing Gi* z-scores across a range of spatial distance bands or neighborhood sizes. This reveals whether clusters of high or low values are scale-dependent — appearing only at fine local scales, only at broad regional scales, or persistently across all scales — providing richer spatial intelligence than a single-bandwidth analysis.
