Hi! I am trying to model local moran“s I with the package spdep. But there are some hurdles to overcome first.. The first one is to make a neighbours list (by hand, specifying neighbours in a .txt file)
I have made a .txt file with neighbours (apparently the "old style GWT", but that should be no problem?) The neighbours list file is quoted below. There are 22 points that should have neighbours in 8 directions (less in the edge points). According to "Applied Spatial Data Analysis with R", a neighbour relation should only be specified one time each (which means that when writing the neighbour relations in a list, one will write less and less neighbours to each point). But when I run the summary of the list, the average number of links is 2.818182. This should be around 5. Have I understood this wrong? I appreciate any help, as I have searched for a long time without results. An example script is written below: Sincerely Carsten Kirkeby Example: library(spdep) test <- read.gwt2nb("neighbours.txt") summary(test) #coordinates for the 22 points: coox <- c(1,2,3,4,5) cooy <- c(3,1,2,0,3) #and a plot for illustration: plot(test,matrix(cbind(coox,cooy),ncol=2)) text(coox,cooy,as.character(1:5),pos=rep(3,5)) Contents of the neighbours.txt file: 22 1 20 1 1 21 1 1 13 1 1 2 1 2 20 1 2 13 1 2 12 1 2 3 1 3 13 1 3 12 1 3 5 1 3 4 1 4 12 1 4 5 1 5 12 1 5 11 1 5 6 1 6 12 1 6 11 1 6 10 1 6 7 1 7 11 1 7 10 1 7 9 1 7 8 1 8 10 1 8 9 1 9 16 1 9 15 1 9 10 1 10 16 1 10 15 1 10 14 1 10 11 1 11 15 1 11 14 1 11 13 1 11 12 1 12 14 1 12 13 1 13 14 1 13 19 1 13 20 1 14 15 1 14 18 1 14 19 1 14 20 1 15 16 1 15 17 1 15 18 1 15 19 1 16 17 1 16 18 1 17 18 1 18 19 1 18 22 1 19 20 1 19 22 1 19 21 1 20 21 1 20 22 1 21 22 1 -- View this message in context: http://r-sig-geo.2731867.n2.nabble.com/neighbour-list-problem-read-gwt2nb-tp5756395p5756395.html Sent from the R-sig-geo mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ R-sig-Geo mailing list R-sig-Geo@stat.math.ethz.ch https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-geo
