What is Emerging Hot Spot Analysis?
• Finding trends by analyzing space (xy) and time (t)• Minimum 10 observations (time
step intervals)
• Getis-Ord Gi* determines if a bin is a statistically significant hot or cold spot
• Mann-Kendall trend test evaluates hot and cold spots through time to produce categories such as Intensifying, Diminishing or New hot spot
