Location-specific cumulative distribution function (LSCDF) : an alternative to spatial correlation analysis

Auteur :
WONG, D.W.S.

Description :
The paper presents an approach for spatial correlation analysis for count variables by comparing their cumulative spatial distributions. Using the concept of LSCDF in classical statistics, it shows that location-specific and its associated K-S-like statistic, which indicate the magnitude of difference between the two spatial distributions, are highly consistent over different levels of spatial scale. The two LSCDFs can provide a geographic description of the two spatial distributions of population groups.
