autocov_dist: Distance-weighted autocovariate

Description

Calculates the autocovariate to be used in autonormal, autopoisson or autologistic regression. Three distance-weighting schemes are available.

Usage

autocov_dist(z, xy, nbs = 1, type = "inverse", zero.policy = NULL,
 style = "B", longlat=NULL)

Value

A numeric vector of autocovariate values

Arguments

z

the response variable

xy

a matrix of coordinates or a SpatialPoints, sf or sfc points object

nbs

neighbourhood radius; default is 1

type

the weighting scheme: "one" gives equal weight to all data points in the neighbourhood; "inverse" (the default) weights by inverse distance; "inverse.squared" weights by the square of "inverse"

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

style

default “B” (changed from “W” 2015-01-27); style can take values “W”, “B”, “C”, “U”, and “S”

longlat

TRUE if point coordinates are longitude-latitude decimal, in which case distances are measured in kilometers; if xy is a SpatialPoints object, the value is taken from the object itself
