| No Pattern Detected | | No pattern detected |
| Intensifying Hotspot | | Locations that become hotspots are statistically significant during 90% of time step intervals, including final time step intervals. The intensity of high clustering amounts in each time step increases overall and is statistically significant. |
| Persistent Hotspot | | Locations that become hotspots are statistically significant for 90% of time step intervals in the absence of trends indicating an increase or decrease in clustering intensity over time. |
| Oscillating Hotspot | | A statistically significant hotspot for the last time step interval has a history as a statistically significant cold spot previously. Less than 90% of time step intervals have become statistically significant hotspots. |
| Sporadic Hotspot | | The location of the hotspot is on-again rather than off-again. Less than 90% of time step intervals become statistically significant hotspots, and no time step interval is a statistically significant cold spot. |
| New Hotspot | | The location is a statistically significant hotspot for final time step intervals and has never been a statistically significant hotspot before. |
| Diminishing Hotspot | | Locations that become hotspots are statistically significant during 90% of time step intervals, including final time step intervals. The intensity of the high number of groupings at each time step decreased statistically significantly overall. |
| Historical Hotspot | | The most recent period is not hot, but at least 90% of time step intervals have become statistically significant hotspots. |
| Consecutive Hotspot | | Locations with one hotspot path are statistically significant without any interference in final time step intervals. Locations were never statistically significant hotspots before the last hotspot was run, and less than 90% of all bins were statistically significant hotspots. |
| Intensifying Cold spot | | Locations that become cold spots are statistically significant during 90% of time step intervals, including final time step intervals. The intensity of low clustering amounts at each step time increases overall and is statistically significant. |
| Persistent Cold spot | | Locations that become cold spots are statistically significant during 90% of time step intervals in the absence of trends indicating an increase or decrease in clustering intensity over time. |
| Oscillating Cold spot | | A statistical cold spot for the last time step interval has a history as a statistically significant hotspot during the previous step time. Less than 90% of time step intervals have become statistically significant cold spots. |
| Sporadic Cold spot | | Cold spot location is on-again rather than off-again. Less than 90% of time step intervals become statistically significant cold spots, and no time step interval is a statistically significant hotspot. |
| New Cold spot | | The location is a statistically significant cold spot for final time step intervals and has never been a statistically significant cold spot before. |
| Diminishing Cold spot | | Locations that become cold spots are statistically significant during 90% of time step intervals, including final time step intervals. The low number-grouping intensity at each time step experiences a statistically significant overall decrease. |
| Historical Cold spot | | The most recent period is not cold, but at least 90% of time step intervals have become statistically significant cold spots. |
| Consecutive Cold spot | | Locations with one cold spot track are statistically significant without any interruptions in final time step intervals. Locations were never statistically significant cold spots before the last cold spot was run, and less than 90% of all bins were statistically significant cold spots. |
