MoranIndex

Type: object

Properties

• moranIndex number the moran's Index of the observed feature set
• expectedMoranIndex number the moran's Index of the random distribution
• stdNorm number the standard devitaion of the random distribution
• zNorm number the z-score of the observe samples with regard to the random distribution

moranIndex

Moran's I measures patterns of attribute values associated with features. The method reveal whether similar values tend to occur near each other, or whether high or low values are interspersed.

Moran's I > 0 means a clusterd pattern. Moran's I < 0 means a dispersed pattern. Moran's I = 0 means a random pattern.

In order to test the significance of the result. The z score is calculated. A positive enough z-score (ex. >1.96) indicates clustering, while a negative enough z-score (ex. <-1.96) indicates a dispersed pattern.

the z-score can be calculated based on a normal or random assumption.

Parameters

• fc FeatureCollection<any>

• options Object

  • options.inputField string the property name, must contain numeric values
  • options.threshold number the distance threshold (optional, default 100000)

Examples

const bbox = [-65, 40, -63, 42];
const dataset = turf.randomPoint(100, { bbox: bbox });

const result = turf.moranIndex(dataset, {
  inputField: 'CRIME',
});

Returns MoranIndex
