Matrix (version 1.4-0)

wrld_1deg: World 1-degree grid contiguity matrix

Description

This matrix represents the distance-based contiguities of 15260 one-degree grid cells of land areas. The representation is as a row standardised spatial weights matrix transformed to a symmetric matrix (see Ord (1975), p. 125).

Usage

data(wrld_1deg)

Format

A \(15260 ^2\) symmetric sparse matrix of class '>dsCMatrix with 55973 non-zero entries.

Details

The data were created into R using the coordinates of a ‘SpatialPixels’ object containing approximately one-degree grid cells for land areas only (world excluding Antarctica), using package spdep's dnearneigh with a cutoff distance of sqrt(2), and row-standardised and transformed to symmetry using nb2listw and similar.listw. This spatial weights object was converted to a '>dsTMatrix using as_dsTMatrix_listw and then coerced (column-compressed).
