# Quantile LISA

Quantile LISA ([2019](https://geodacenter.github.io/workbook/6d_local_discrete/lab6d.html#ref-Anselin:19b)) is quantile local spatial autocorrelation that applies local join count statistics to quantiles of a continuous variable by converting the continuous variable to a binary variable that takes the value of 1 for a specific quantile. For more information, please read <https://geodacenter.github.io/workbook/6d_local_discrete/lab6d.html#quantile-lisa>

## quantileLisa()

```sql
function quantileLisa(
    WeightResult w,
    Number k,
    Number quantile,
    Array val,
    Number permutations, 
    String permutation_method,
    NUmber significance_cutoff, 
    Number seed)
```

| w                    | *WeightResult* | the WeightResult object created from weights function                                                      |
| k                    | Number         | the total number of quantiles                                                                              |
| quantile             | Number         | the index of which quantile is used in local join count statistics                                         |
| val                  | Array          | the numeric column that contains the binary values (e.g. 0 and 1) for LISA statistics                      |
| permutations         | Number         | the number of permutations for the LISA computation. Default: 999.                                         |

| seed                 | Number         | the seed for random number generator used in LISA statistics. Default: 123456789.                          |

### Return

| Type       | Description                                                                                                                  |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
