Map of England by Government Office Regions showing the spatial clusters of hearing loss prevalence according to Hot Spot and Cold Spot analyses ^a using the Getis-Ord Gi* statistic in eight Waves of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA). ^a The Hot Spots and Cold Spots indicate unexpected spatial spikes of high or low values, respectively, showing that the distribution of these values in the dataset is more spatially clustered than would be expected if underlying spatial processes were truly random.
