Global Spatial Autocorrelation for Shapes

Author: O.Conrad (c) 2023
Menu: Spatial and Geostatistics | Spatial Autocorrelation

Description

Calculates Moran's I and Geary's C for the selected variable of the input shapes. For geometries other than single points (i.e. multi-points, lines, polygons) the centroids are used as location.
