Initializes the array of tool parameters with the values as specified for the required parameters and with the default values for the other parameters.

Parameters:
inputFeatureClass - the feature class for which hot spot analysis will be performed.
inputField - the numeric count field (number of victims, crimes, jobs, and so on) to be evaluated.
outputFeatureClass - the output feature class to receive the Results field and Gi z score.
conceptualizationOfSpatialRelationships - specifies how spatial relationships among features are conceptualized.
distanceMethod - specifies how distances are calculated from each feature to its nearest neighboring feature.
standardization - row standardization is recommended whenever the distribution of your features is potentially biased due to sampling design or an imposed aggregation scheme.

getDistanceBandOrThresholdDistance

public double getDistanceBandOrThresholdDistance()
Returns the Distance Band or Threshold Distance parameter of this tool . This parameter is specifies a cutoff distance for Inverse Distance and Fixed Distance options.
