eigenw: Spatial weights matrix eigenvalues

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

View source: R/eigenw.R

Description

The eigenw function returns a numeric vector of eigenvalues of the weights matrix generated from the spatial weights object listw. The eigenvalues are used to speed the computation of the Jacobian in spatial model estimation:

\log(\det[I - ρ W]) = ∑_{i=1}^{n}\log(1 - ρ λ_i)

where W is the n by n spatial weights matrix, and lambda[i] are the eigenvalues of W.

eigenw(listw, quiet=NULL)
griffith_sone(P, Q, type="rook")
subgraph_eigenw(nb, glist=NULL, style="W", zero.policy=NULL, quiet=NULL)

Arguments

listw

a listw object created for example by nb2listw

quiet

default NULL, use global !verbose option value; set to FALSE for short summary

P

number of columns in the grid (number of units in a horizontal axis direction)

Q

number of rows in the grid (number of units in a vertical axis direction.)

type

“rook” or “queen”

nb

an object of class nb

glist

list of general weights corresponding to neighbours

style

style can take values “W”, “B”, “C”, “U”, “minmax” and “S”

zero.policy

default NULL, use global option value; if FALSE stop with error for any empty neighbour sets, if TRUE permit the weights list to be formed with zero-length weights vectors

Details

The eigenw function computes the eigenvalues of a single spatial weights object. The griffith_sone function function may be used, following Ord and Gasim (for references see Griffith and Sone (1995)), to calculate analytical eigenvalues for binary rook or queen contiguous neighbours where the data are arranged as a regular P times Q grid. The subgraph_eigenw function may be used when there are multiple graph components, of which the largest may be handled as a dense matrix. Here the eigenvalues are computed for each subgraph in turn, and catenated to reconstruct the complete set. The functions may be used to provide pre-computed eigenvalues for spatial regression functions.

Value

a numeric or complex vector of eigenvalues of the weights matrix generated from the spatial weights object.
