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 $1/2 (W + W')$

Usage

lm.morantest(model, listw, zero.policy=NULL, alternative = "greater", spChk=NULL, resfun=weighted.residuals, naSubset=TRUE)
listw2U(listw)

Arguments

model

an object of class lm returned by lm; weights may be specified in the lm fit, but offsets should not be used

listw

a listw object created for example by nb2listw

zero.policy

default NULL, use global option value; 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()

resfun

default: weighted.residuals; the function to be used to extract residuals from the lm object, may be residuals, weighted.residuals, rstandard, or rstudent

naSubset

default TRUE to subset listw object for omitted observations in model object (this is a change from earlier behaviour, when the model$na.action component was ignored, and the listw object had to be subsetted by hand)

Value

A list with class htest containing the following components:
