lm.morantest: Moran's I test for residual spatial autocorrelation

Description

Moran's I test for spatial autocorrelation in residuals from an estimated linear model (lm()). The helper function listw2U() constructs a weights list object corresponding to the sparse matrix $\frac{1}{2} ( \mathbf{W} + \mathbf{W}'$

Usage

lm.morantest(model, listw, zero.policy=FALSE, 
	    alternative = "greater", spChk=NULL)
listw2U(listw)

Arguments

model

an object of class lm returned by lm; weights and offsets should not be used

listw

a listw object created for example by nb2listw

zero.policy

if TRUE assign zero to the lagged value of zones without neighbours, if FALSE assign NA

alternative

a character string specifying the alternative hypothesis, must be one of greater (default), less or two.sided.

spChk

should the data vector names be checked against the spatial objects for identity integrity, TRUE, or FALSE, default NULL to use get.spChkOption()

Value

• A list with class htest containing the following components:
• statistic
  the value of the standard deviate of Moran's I.
• p.value
  the p-value of the test.
• estimate
  the value of the observed Moran's I, its expectation and variance under the method assumption.
• alternative
  a character string describing the alternative hypothesis.
• method
  a character string giving the method used.
• data.name
  a character string giving the name(s) of the data.
