As described in ArcGIS 10.2, the OHS analysis is a tool that uses the Getis-Ord Gi * statistic [Eq. (4)] to estimate the associated Z-score for each feature. To aggregate the Z-scores, OHS applies the average and the median nearest-neighbor calculations given incremental distances between observations as estimated using the incremental spatial autocorrelation tool. In the Getis-Ord Gi * statistic, x_jis the attribute value for the feature under consideration for observation j, w_{i, j} represents the spatial weights between observations, n is the total number of observations, X is equal to ? j = 1 n x j n , and S is equivalent to ? j = 1 n x j 2 n – ( X ) 2 .

To choose spatial loads symbolizing spatial dating between observations and you will around attributes of attention (Anselin, 1988; Getis and you may Aldstadt, 2004; Getis, 2009), i utilized the geo-referenced research-latitude and you can longitude from farm and you will dwelling coordinates-gathered when you look at the field survey and you may accompanied a row-standard inverse distance spatial weights matrix. Row standardization implies that i divided for every lbs by row amount of the newest weights provided a certain distance ring. As the noted by the Getis and you will Aldstadt (2004), row standardization is helpful when you look at the weighting observations similarly. It number of brand new matrix mode is mostly in support of the latest hypothesis you to output and you will overall performance during the ranch top drop off which have range from the best-performing firms.
