It recommended to use the `CDB_MoransILocal*` variants instead as they will be maintained and improved going foward. A family of analyses to uncover groupings of areas with consistently high or low values (clusters) and smaller areas with values unlike those around them (outliers). A cluster is labeled by an 'HH' (high value compared to the entire dataset in an area with other high values), or its opposite 'LL'. An outlier is labeled by an 'LH' (low value surrounded by high values) or an 'HL' (the opposite). Each cluster and outlier classification has an associated p-value, a measure of how significant the pattern of highs and lows is compared to a random distribution.
