Knn2nb. To get the k-nearest neighbors for k = 1, we need two function from the spdep library: knn2nb and knearneigh. queen contiguity. There are two main types of spatial weights, contiguity and distance based weights. 3 Spatial autocorrelation We’ll start by talking about spatial weights. First, create a k nearest neighbor object using knearneigh() by plugging in the tract (centroid) coordinates and specifying k. no. Neighbours list from knn object Description The function converts a knn object returned by knearneigh into a neighbours list of class nb with a list of integer vectors containing neighbour region number ids. 1-7)) and upper (less than or equal to) bounds, or with longlat = TRUE, by Great Circle distance in kilometers. names = NULL, sym = FALSE) Arguments Value The function returns an object of class nb with a list of integer vectors containing neighbour region number ids. A warning will be given if identical points are found. nfcegxe8kwwrdlx1sjuhwl3oql0em04mmpc7lvtfo0
