Hotspot Analysis with Getis-Ord Gi*

Builds CARTO Workflows that identify statistically significant spatial clusters (hotspots and coldspots) using the Getis-Ord Gi* statistic.

Prerequisites: Load carto-create-workflow for the development process, JSON structure, and validation commands.

Instructions

A hotspot workflow always follows this pipeline:

Source Data → (Filter) → Spatial Indexing → Aggregation → Getis-Ord Gi* → (Filter Significant) → Save

Step 1: Load Source Data

Use native.gettablebyname. The input table typically contains point geometries.
