Compute Global Geary's C — global

Computes the Global Geary's Contiguity statistic. Can produce spatial weights from an adjacency or sf dataframe, in which case the spatial_mat is a contiguity matrix. Users can also provide a spatial_mat argument directly.

global_gearys(shp, adj, wts, spatial_mat, epsg = 3857)

Arguments

shp: sf dataframe. Optional if adj or spatial_mat is supplied.
adj: Zero-indexed adjacency list. Optional if shp or spatial_mat is supplied.
wts: Numeric vector of observed values.
spatial_mat: Square spatial weights matrix. Optional if shp or adj is supplied.
epsg: numeric EPSG code to planarize to. Default is 3857.

Value

numeric scalar containing the global Geary's C statistic

Examples

library(dplyr)
data('checkerboard')
checkerboard <- checkerboard |> mutate(m = as.numeric((id + i) %% 2 == 0))
global_gearys(shp = checkerboard, wts = checkerboard$m)
