joincount.multi: BB, BW and Jtot join count statistic for k-coloured factors

In spdep: Spatial Dependence: Weighting Schemes, Statistics

BB, BW and Jtot join count statistic for k-coloured factors

Description

A function for tallying join counts between same-colour and different colour spatial objects, where neighbour relations are defined by a weights list. Given the global counts in each colour, expected counts and variances are calculated under non-free sampling, and a z-value reported. Since multiple tests are reported, no p-values are given, allowing the user to adjust the significance level applied. Jtot is the count of all different-colour joins.

Usage

joincount.multi(fx, listw, zero.policy = FALSE,
 spChk = NULL, adjust.n=TRUE)
## S3 method for class 'jcmulti'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

fx	a factor of the same length as the neighbours and weights objects in listw
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
adjust.n	default TRUE, if FALSE the number of observations is not adjusted for no-neighbour observations, if TRUE, the number of observations is adjusted consistently (up to and including spdep 0.3-28 the adjustment was inconsistent - thanks to Tomoki NAKAYA for a careful bug report)
spChk	should the data vector names be checked against the spatial objects for identity integrity, TRUE, or FALSE, default NULL to use get.spChkOption()
x	object to be printed
...	arguments to be passed through for printing

Value

A matrix with class jcmulti with row and column names for observed and expected counts, variance, and z-value.

Note

The derivation of the test (Cliff and Ord, 1981, p. 18) assumes that the weights matrix is symmetric. For inherently non-symmetric matrices, such as k-nearest neighbour matrices, listw2U() can be used to make the matrix symmetric. In non-symmetric weights matrix cases, the variance of the test statistic may be negative.
