I have point data (170 points) for the Solomon Islands and I'm trying to run a hot spot analysis. I'm facing a few problems-
1. the point data is partly on land within administration polygons and some fall off the polygons making it difficult to aggregate the data.
2. I can't find any hot spot analysis that's been run on islands that are this scattered - would this even work?
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
An image would help.
But one observation would be, if the observations are on separate islands (for instance), then they cannot be treated as a whole, but as separate entities
