# GeospatIal Distribution DYnamics (GIDDY)¶

Giddy is an open-source python library for the analysis of dynamics of longitudinal spatial data. Originating from the spatial dynamics module in PySAL (Python Spatial Analysis Library), it is under active development for the inclusion of many newly proposed analytics that consider the role of space in the evolution of distributions over time and has several new features including inter- and intra-regional decomposition of mobility association and local measures of exchange mobility in addition to space-time LISA and spatial markov methods.
