Scan Statistics Adjusted for Global Spatial Autocorrelation
Failure to account for global spatial autocorrelation when using scan statistics to find clusters generated by local processes will result in P-values that are too low, and consequently, spurious findings of statistical significance are not uncommon. The presence of global spatial autocorrelation also decreases the ability to reject false null hypotheses and it is therefore more difficult to find local clusters when they exist. By estimating the degree of global autocorrelation and using that estimate to transform the data, it is then possible to apply scan statistics to the transformed data. This results in a reduction in the likelihood of spurious finding of statistical significance when local clusters do not exist.
期刊介绍:
First in its specialty area and one of the most frequently cited publications in geography, Geographical Analysis has, since 1969, presented significant advances in geographical theory, model building, and quantitative methods to geographers and scholars in a wide spectrum of related fields. Traditionally, mathematical and nonmathematical articulations of geographical theory, and statements and discussions of the analytic paradigm are published in the journal. Spatial data analyses and spatial econometrics and statistics are strongly represented.
