## Areas of Interest Functions
|
|
|
|
### CDB_AreasOfInterestLocal(subquery text, column_name text)
|
|
|
|
This function classifies your data as being part of a cluster, as an outlier, or not part of a pattern based the significance of a classification. The classification happens through an autocorrelation statistic called Local Moran's I.
|
|
|
|
#### Arguments
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description |
|
|
|------|------|-------------|
|
|
| subquery | TEXT | SQL query that exposes the data to be analyzed (e.g., `SELECT * FROM interesting_table`). This query must have the geometry column name `the_geom` and id column name `cartodb_id` unless otherwise specified in the input arguments |
|
|
| column_name | TEXT | Name of column (e.g., should be `'interesting_value'` instead of `interesting_value` without single quotes) used for the analysis. |
|
|
| weight type (optional) | TEXT | Type of weight to use when finding neighbors. Currently available options are 'knn' (default) and 'queen'. Read more about weight types in [PySAL's weights documentation](https://pysal.readthedocs.io/en/v1.11.0/users/tutorials/weights.html). |
|
|
| num_ngbrs (optional) | INT | Number of neighbors if using k-nearest neighbors weight type. Defaults to 5. |
|
|
| permutations (optional) | INT | Number of permutations to check against a random arrangement of the values in `column_name`. This influences the accuracy of the output field `significance`. Defaults to 99. |
|
|
| geom_col (optional) | TEXT | The column name for the geometries. Defaults to `'the_geom'` |
|
|
| id_col (optional) | TEXT | The column name for the unique ID of each geometry/value pair. Defaults to `'cartodb_id'`. |
|
|
|
|
#### Returns
|
|
|
|
A table with the following columns.
|
|
|
|
| Column Name | Type | Description |
|
|
|-------------|------|-------------|
|
|
| moran | NUMERIC | Value of Moran's I (spatial autocorrelation measure) for the geometry with id of `rowid` |
|
|
| quads | TEXT | Classification of geometry. Result is one of 'HH' (a high value with neighbors high on average), 'LL' (opposite of 'HH'), 'HL' (a high value surrounded by lows on average), and 'LH' (opposite of 'HL'). Null values are returned when nulls exist in the original data. |
|
|
| significance | NUMERIC | The statistical significance (from 0 to 1) of a cluster or outlier classification. Lower numbers are more significant. |
|
|
| rowid | INT | Row id of the values which correspond to the input rows. |
|
|
| vals | NUMERIC | Values from `'column_name'`. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Example Usage
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT
|
|
c.the_geom,
|
|
aoi.quads,
|
|
aoi.significance,
|
|
c.num_cyclists_per_total_population
|
|
FROM CDB_GetAreasOfInterestLocal('SELECT * FROM commute_data'
|
|
'num_cyclists_per_total_population') As aoi
|
|
JOIN commute_data As c
|
|
ON c.cartodb_id = aoi.rowid;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### CDB_AreasOfInterestGlobal(subquery text, column_name text)
|
|
|
|
This function identifies the extent to which geometries cluster (the groupings of geometries with similarly high or low values relative to the mean) or form outliers (areas where geometries have values opposite of their neighbors). The output of this function gives values between -1 and 1 as well as a significance of that classification. Values close to 0 mean that there is little to no distribution of values as compared to what one would see in a randomly distributed collection of geometries and values.
|
|
|
|
#### Arguments
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description |
|
|
|------|------|-------------|
|
|
| subquery | TEXT | SQL query that exposes the data to be analyzed (e.g., `SELECT * FROM interesting_table`). This query must have the geometry column name `the_geom` and id column name `cartodb_id` unless otherwise specified in the input arguments |
|
|
| column_name | TEXT | Name of column (e.g., should be `'interesting_value'` instead of `interesting_value` without single quotes) used for the analysis. |
|
|
| weight type (optional) | TEXT | Type of weight to use when finding neighbors. Currently available options are 'knn' (default) and 'queen'. Read more about weight types in [PySAL's weights documentation](https://pysal.readthedocs.io/en/v1.11.0/users/tutorials/weights.html). |

|
|
| id_col (optional) | TEXT | The column name for the unique ID of each geometry/value pair. Defaults to `'cartodb_id'`. |
|
|
|
|
#### Returns
|
|
|
|
A table with the following columns.
|
|
|
|
| Column Name | Type | Description |
|
|
|-------------|------|-------------|
|
|
| moran | NUMERIC | Value of Moran's I (spatial autocorrelation measure) for the entire dataset. Values closer to one indicate cluster, closer to -1 mean more outliers, and near zero indicates a random distribution of data. |

|
|
|
|
#### Examples
|
|
|
|
```sql

|
|
|
|
### CDB_AreasOfInterestLocalRate(subquery text, numerator_column text, denominator_column text)
|
|
|
|
Just like `CDB_AreasOfInterestLocal`, this function classifies your data as being part of a cluster, as an outlier, or not part of a pattern based the significance of a classification. This function differs in that it calculates the classifications based on input `numerator` and `denominator` columns for finding the areas where there are clusters and outliers for the resulting rate of those two values.

## Hotspot, Coldspot, and Outlier Functions
