# Multivariate Quantile LISA

Multivariate Quantile LISA ([2019](https://geodacenter.github.io/workbook/6d_local_discrete/lab6d.html#ref-Anselin:19b)) is a type of local spatial autocorrelation that applies multivariate local join count statistics to quantiles of multiple continuous variables. For each continuous variable,  it is converted to a binary variable that takes the value of 1 for a specific quantile.

| quantiles            | Array          | The array of integer numbers that specify which quantile is used for each variable                         |
| vals                 | Array          | an array of numeric columns that contains the  values for LISA statistics                                  |
