Short summary
While focal statistics and zonal statistics deal with spatial position dependence (SPD) and spatial stratified heterogeneity (SSH) separately, the developed foca–zonal mixed statistics can handle both simultaneously. This new tool has the potential to become a general statistics tool. The integrated FZStats v1.0 toolbox in this study includes all three models mentioned above, providing new methodological support for understanding and addressing spatial statistical issues.
