aple.mc: Approximate profile-likelihood estimator (APLE) permutation test

Description

A permutation bootstrap test for the approximate profile-likelihood estimator (APLE).

Usage

aple.mc(x, listw, nsim, override_similarity_check=FALSE, useTrace=TRUE)

Arguments

x

a zero-mean detrended continuous variable

listw

a listw object from for example nb2listw

nsim

number of simulations

override\_similarity\_check

default FALSE, if TRUE - typically for row-standardised weights with asymmetric underlying general weights - similarity is not checked

useTrace

default TRUE, use trace of sparse matrix W %*% W (Li et al. (2010)), if FALSE, use crossproduct of eigenvalues of W as in Li et al. (2007)

Value

A boot object as returned by the boot function.
