[R] Spatial Autocorrelation

[Corey Sparks]

Hi Paulo,
if your data are distance matrices, you might consider doing a Mantel test,
look at the mantel() function in package vegan.  While this is not
technically measuring spatial autocorrelation, it will test for correlation
between the attribute distances and the geographic distances.  Also, if you
can coax your data back into a point shapefile (for example), you can use
the tools in the spdep package which will measure actual spatial
autocorrelation (such as Moran's I and Geary's C). 
Best,
Corey
