gearymoran: Moran's I and Geary'c randomization tests for spatial and phylogenetic autocorrelation

Description

This function performs Moran's I test using phylogenetic and spatial link matrix (binary or general). It uses neighbouring weights so Moran's I and Geary's c randomization tests are equivalent.

Usage

gearymoran(bilis, X, nrepet = 999, alter=c("greater", "less", "two-sided"))

Arguments

bilis

: a n by n link matrix where n is the row number of X

X

: a data frame with continuous variables

nrepet

: number of random vectors for the randomization test

alter

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

Value

Returns an object of class krandtest (randomization tests).

Details

bilis is a squared symmetric matrix which terms are all positive or null.

bilis is firstly transformed in frequency matrix A by dividing it by the total sum of data matrix : $$a_{ij} = \frac{bilis_{ij}}{\sum_{i=1}^{n}\sum_{j=1}^{n}bilis_{ij}}$$ The neighbouring weights is defined by the matrix \(D = diag(d_1,d_2, \ldots)\) where \(d_i = \sum_{j=1}^{n}bilis_{ij}\). For each vector x of the data frame X, the test is based on the Moran statistic \(x^{t}Ax\) where x is D-centred.
