3.8.2 Geary’s C Another measure of spatial autocorrelation is Geary’s C statistic which ranges from 0 to 2 where 0 signifies maximum positive spatial autocorrelation or clustering, 1 signifies no autocorrelation or randomness and 2 signifies maximum negative autocorrelation or dispersal. If the values of Geary’s C are low it indicates positive spatial autocorrelation and if the values are high it indicates negative spatial autocorrelation. The calculation is similar to Moran’s I but here the…
