Local Indicators of Spatial Association—LISA

Luc Anselin · 1 Apr 1995

The capabilities for visualization, rapid data retrieval, and manipulation in geographic information systems (GIS) have created the need for new techniques of exploratory data analysis that focus on the “spatial” aspects of the data. The identification of local patterns of spatial association is an important concern in this respect. In this paper, I outline a…

The Analysis of Spatial Association by Use of Distance Statistics

Arthur Getis, J. K. Ord · 1 Jul 1992

Introduced in this paper is a family of statistics, G , that can be used as a measure of spatial association in a number of circumstances. The basic statistic is derived, its properties are identified, and its advantages explained. Several of the G statistics make it possible to evaluate the spatial association of a variable…

Local Spatial Autocorrelation Statistics: Distributional Issues and an Application

J. Keith Ord, Arthur Getis · 1 Oct 1995

The statistics G i (d) and G i *(d), introduced in Getis and Ord (1992) for the study of local pattern in spatial data, are extended and their properties further explored. In particular, nonbinary weights are allowed and the statistics are related to Moran's autocorrelation statistic, I. The correlations between nearby values of the statistics…

Geographically Weighted Regression: A Method for Exploring Spatial Nonstationarity

Chris Brunsdon, A. Stewart Fotheringham, Martin Charlton · 1 Oct 1996

Spatial nonstationarity is a condition in which a simple “global” model cannot explain the relationships between some sets of variables. The nature of the model must alter over space to reflect the structure within the data. In this paper, a technique is developed, termed geographically weighted regression, which attempts to capture this variation by calibrating…

<i><b>GeoDa</b></i>: An Introduction to Spatial Data Analysis

Luc Anselin, Ibnu Syabri, Youngihn Kho · 20 Dec 2005

This article presents an overview of GeoDa™, a free software program intended to serve as a user‐friendly and graphical introduction to spatial analysis for non‐geographic information systems (GIS) specialists. It includes functionality ranging from simple mapping to exploratory data analysis, the visualization of global and local spatial autocorrelation, and spatial regression. A key feature of…
