Abstract

This is a "spatial autocorrelation analysis" of spatial autocorrelation. I use the 1-dimension spatial autocorrelation function (ACF) and partial autocorrelation function (PACF) to analyze four kinds of weight function in common use for the 2-dimensional spatial autocorrelation model. The aim of this study is at how to select a proper weight function to construct a spatial contiguity matrix for spatial analysis. The scopes of application of different weight functions are defined in terms of the characters of their ACFs and PACFs.
