global_moran_i function

Global Moran's I statistic

Calculate the global Moran's I statistic for model residuals. ww_global_moran_i() returns the statistic itself, while ww_global_moran_pvalue() returns the associated p value. These functions are meant to help assess model predictions, for instance by identifying if there are clusters of higher residuals than expected. For statistical testing and inference applications, use spdep::moran.test() instead.

ww_global_moran_i(data, ...)

ww_global_moran_i_vec(truth, estimate, wt = NULL, na_rm = FALSE, ...)

ww_global_moran_pvalue(data, ...)

ww_global_moran_pvalue_vec(truth, estimate, wt = NULL, na_rm = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

• data: A data.frame containing the columns specified by the truth

  and estimate arguments.

• ...: Additional arguments passed to spdep::moran() (for ww_global_moran_i()) or spdep::moran.test() (for ww_global_moran_pvalue()).

• truth: The column identifier for the true results (that is numeric). This should be an unquoted column name although this argument is passed by expression and supports quasiquotation (you can unquote column names). For _vec() functions, a numeric vector.

• estimate: The column identifier for the predicted results (that is also numeric). As with truth this can be specified different ways but the primary method is to use an unquoted variable name. For _vec() functions, a numeric vector.

• wt: A listw object, for instance as created with ww_build_weights(). For data.frame input, may also be a function that takes data and returns a listw object.

• na_rm: A logical value indicating whether NA

  values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.

Returns

A tibble with columns .metric, .estimator, and .estimate and 1 row of values. For grouped data frames, the number of rows returned will be the same as the number of groups. For _vec() functions, a single value (or NA).

Details

These functions can be used for geographic or projected coordinate reference systems and expect 2D data.

Examples

guerry_model <- guerry
guerry_lm <- lm(Crm_prs ~ Litercy, guerry_model)
guerry_model$predictions <- predict(guerry_lm, guerry_model)

ww_global_moran_i(guerry_model, Crm_prs, predictions)
ww_global_moran_pvalue(guerry_model, Crm_prs, predictions)

wt <- ww_build_weights(guerry_model)

ww_global_moran_i_vec(
  guerry_model$Crm_prs,
  guerry_model$predictions,
  wt = wt
)
ww_global_moran_pvalue_vec(
  guerry_model$Crm_prs,
  guerry_model$predictions,
  wt = wt
)
