Calculate gi and hi local spatial statistic

gihi(x, gi_hi, id, dis, time, alpha = NULL)

Arguments

x

it is an sf object with the number of events for each spatial unit

gi_hi

Define the local spatial statistic. It includes three options ("gi", "hi", "gi_hi", if "gi" calculates the spatial local statistic getis & ord, if it is "hi" calculates hi, and if it is "gi_hi" calculates both statistic

id

is or are the identifiers of each spatial unit

dis

it is the prefix of the variable name. Example den_2018 or denv_2018, dis is den and denv

time

is the unit of time or the time scale of the analyzed time series. example in years, times, months, weeks

alpha

is the value of alpha to determine the threshold of value of gi to discriminate hotspots from non-hotspots

Value

a sf object with the ids and the intensity and hotspots for hi, gi or each.
