Gi* compares each township and its neighbours with the country: a hot spot is a cluster of townships above the national level beyond what chance would give.
Significance: Gi*, false discovery rate 0.05 within each measure. Townships only (events placed to a township). A descriptive map of past events.
A cold spot reflects only fewer recorded conflict events and does not mean the area was safe.
Townships with no neighbouring township are left out: MMR011003, MMR012012, MMR013032.
