Necessary and sufficient conditions to achieve objective of vulnerability studies:
• Flexible knowledge base• Multiple, interacting stresses• Prospective & historical• Place-based: local in terms of global• Explores ways to increase adaptive capacity

What variables cluster in geographic space?
How do they cluster?
Why do they cluster?
Can you imagine any variables that are not clustered?

Criticisms of quantitative social science:
•discovering global laws•overly reductionist•place can’t matter•too deductive, sure of assumptions
Localized quantitative analysis:
•exploring local variations and global trends•holistic•place can matter•unabashedly inductive, questions assumptions

Spatial analysis (ESDA) is as valuable for hypothesis testing as for hypothesis suggesting… especially in data-sparse environments.
ESDA helps explain why similar (or dissimilar) values cluster in geographic space:
• Social interactions (neighborhood effects)• Spatial externalities• Locational invariance: situation where outcome
changes when locations of ‘objects’ change

“Steps” for Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA):
1. Explore global/local univariate spatial effects
2. Specify & estimate a-spatial (OLS) model
3. Evaluate OLS spatial diagnostics
4. Specify & estimate spatial model(s)
5. Compare & contrast results

What does spatially random mean?

Spatial autocorrelation:
Cov[yi,yj] 0, for neighboring i, j
or
“values depend on geographic location”
Is this a problem to be controlled & ignored
or
an opportunity to be modeled & explored?

Spatial regression/econometrics:
spatial autocorrelation reflects process through regression mis-specification
The “many faces” of spatial autocorrelation:
map pattern, information content, spillover effect, nuisance, missing variable surrogate, diagnostic, …

OLS assumptions:
• Var(ei) = 0
• no residual spatial/temporal autocorrelation
• errors are normally distributed• no measurement error• linear in parameters• no perfect multicollinearity
• E(ei) = 0
![Page 26: Graduate School of Geography](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814cf9550346895dba0b3c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Ignoring residual spatial autocorrelation in regression may lead to:
• Biased parameter estimates
• Inefficient parameter estimates
• Biased standard error estimates
• Limited insight into process spatiality

bias versus inefficiency

Alternative hypothesis: there are significant spatial effects
Large-scale:• spatial heterogeneity
Small-scale:• spatial dependence
Null hypothesis: no spatial effects, i.e., y = X + works just fine
y = X + W +
y = Wy + X +
y = X + i , i=0,1
y = Xii + i , i=0,1

Large-scale:• spatial heterogeneity – dissimilar values clustereddiscrete groups or regions, widely varying size of observation units
Small-scale:• spatial dependence – similar values clustered“nuisance” = external to y~x relationship, e.g., one-time flood reduces crop yield, sampling error
“substantive” = internal to y~x relationship,e.g., innovation diffusion, “bandwagon” effect
