spatial autocorrelation  

Definición

  • Spatial autocorrelation is a spatial measure that evaluates how dispersed or clustered points are distributed in space and whether or not this distribution has occurred by chance. Unlike other spatial methods for detecting spatial patterns of point distribution without considering their attributes, such as Quadrat analysis and the Nearest Neighbor method, spatial autocorrelation also characterizes how similar these points are with respect to their attribute values.
