  • A novel test on the influence of spatial structure on the variance in local conditions

    Statistical parameters often vary across geographic landscapes. For instance, when the the variance of georeferenced random variables is not stable, this might hint on variegated processes or contextual conditions in different sub-regions. Analysing such heterogeneous areas is challenging because an explicit consideration of this so-called spatial heterogeneity is required. Various approaches exist that take account…
