Grid with Simulated Variables

Data provided "as is," no warranties.


File Description
grid10x10.dbf: Simulated random variables with spatial autocorrelation, base data set, to be joined with grid base map.
grid100.shp shx dbf: Base map with 10 by 10 regular grid, no data.
grid100s.shp shx dbf: Regular 10 by 10 grid with spatially autocorrelated data.

Type = polygon shape file, unprojected
Observations = 100
Variables = 34

Source
The grid was created in GeoDa. The variables were simulated using R and its spdep package.

Variable Description
PolyID Grid cell identifier
z Random variables for standard normal distribution
zmaxx Standard normal variates transformed to follow a spatial moving average with parameter xx (xx is 02, 05, 07, 09 for 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9)
ranzmaxx Randomly permuted observations matching the variable zmaxx
zmanxx Standard normal variates transformed to follow a spatial moving average with negative parameter xx (same as above)
ranzmanxx Randomly permuted counterpart of zmanxx
zarxx Standard normal variates transformed to follow a spatial autoregressive process with parameter xx (same as above)
ranzarxx Randomly permuted counterpart of zarxx
zarnxx Standard normal variates transformed to follow a spatial autoregressive process with negative parameter xx (same as above)
ranzarnxx Randomly permuted counterpart of zarnxx
