multispati.randtest: Multivariate spatial autocorrelation test (in C)

In ade4: Analysis of Ecological Data : Exploratory and Euclidean Methods in Environmental Sciences

Description

This function performs a multivariate autocorrelation test.

Usage

multispati.randtest(dudi, listw, nrepet = 999)

Arguments

dudi	an object of class dudi for the duality diagram analysis
listw	an object of class listw for the spatial dependence of data observations
nrepet	the number of permutations

Details

We note X the data frame with the variables, Q the column weights matrix and D the row weights matrix associated to the duality diagram dudi. We note L the neighbouring weights matrix associated to listw. This function performs a Monte-Carlo Test on the multivariate spatial autocorrelation index :

r = trace(t(X)DLXQ) / trace(t(X)DXQ)

Value

Returns an object of class randtest (randomization tests).
