spatial heterogeneity  

Definition

  • Spatial heterogeneity is a characteristic of the distribution of geographic data, that is, data where the location of observations is explicitly taken into account. It is a special form of structural instability, that is, the situation where a property of a distribution is not constant across the sample.
