Reports the local Moran Coefficient for each unit.

MI.local(x, W, alternative = "greater", na.rm = TRUE)

Arguments

x

a vector

W

spatial connectivity matrix

alternative

specification of alternative hypothesis as 'greater' (default), 'lower', or 'two.sided'

na.rm

listwise deletion of observations with missing values (TRUE/ FALSE)

Value

Returns an object of class data.frame that contains the following information for each variable:

Ii

observed value of local Moran's I

EIi

expected value of local Moran coefficients

VarIi

variance of local Moran's I

zIi

standardized local Moran coefficient

pIi

p-value of the test statistic

Note

The calculation of the statistic and its moments follows Anselin (1995) and Sokal et al. (1998).
