lextrB: Find extreme eigenvalues of binary symmetric spatial weights

Description

The functions find extreme eigenvalues of binary symmetric spatial weights, when these form planar graphs; general weights are not permiited. l_max finds the largest eigenvalue using Rayleigh quotient methods of any “listw” object. lextrB first calls l_max, and uses its output to find the smallest eigenvalue in addition for binary symmetric spatial weights. lextrW extends these to find the smallest eigenvalue for intrinsically symmetric row-standardized binary weights matrices (transformed to symmetric through similarity internally). lextrS does the same for variance-stabilized (“S” style) intrinsically symmetric binary weights matrices (transformed to symmetric through similarity internally).

Usage

lextrB(lw, zero.policy = TRUE, control = list())
lextrW(lw, zero.policy=TRUE, control=list())
lextrS(lw, zero.policy=TRUE, control=list())
l_max(lw, zero.policy=TRUE, control=list())

Value

The functions return approximations to the extreme eigenvalues with the eigenvectors returned as attributes of this object.

Arguments

lw

a binary symmetric listw object from, for example, nb2listw with style “B” for lextrB, style “W” for lextrW and style “S” for lextrS; for l_max, the object may be asymmetric and does not have to be binary

zero.policy

default NULL, use global option value; if TRUE assign zero to the lagged value of zones without neighbours, if FALSE assign NA

control

a list of control arguments

Control arguments

trace

report values in while loops, default NULL assuming FALSE; logical

tol

tolerance for breaking while loops, default .Machine$double.eps^(1/2); numeric

maxiter

maximum number of iterations in while loops, default 6 * (length(lw$neighbours) - 2; integer

useC

use C code, default TRUE, logical (not in l_max)
