- Moran’s I on Residuals
Introduction
The first of our spatial diagnostics performs a Moran’s I test on the residuals of a linear regression to determine whether the error terms are spatially correlated. This Moran’s I test treats the residuals slightly differently to how the original Moran’s I test treats a variable (Cliff and Ord, 1973):\(I = e’W_{e}/e’e\)
where \(e\) is the regression residuals and \(W\) the spatial weight matrix. As with the original Moran’s I, the I statistic has an asymptotic distribution that corresponds to the standard normal distribution after subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation of the statistic (Anselin, 1988a: 102). A significant result would indicate that there are indeed spatially correlated error terms.
Inputs
- Dataset – the spatial weight matrix to be used, probably derived from one of the methods above.
- Dataset – the dataset that contains the variable(s) to be tested.
- Moran’s I on Residuals Regression Dependent Variable – the dependent variable(s) of the regression equation.
- Moran’s I on Residuals Regression Independent Variables – the independent variable(s) of the regression equation.
- Moran’s I on Residuals Alternative Hypothesis – indicates the alternative hypothesis; can be two.sided, greater, meaning one sided greater than or less, meaning one sided less than.
Outputs
- Moran’s I with its expectation and variance
- Moran’s I with the corresponding z-score and p-value
- The alternative hypothesis
