Dear all,

I would like to calculate a Moran's I statistic using the moran function in the spdep package. The problem I'm having deals with how to create the listw object.

My data stems from the area of social network analysis. I have list of poeple and for each pair of them I have a measure of their relationship strength. So my dataset looks like: Jim; Bob; 0.5

This measure of relationship strength can be interpreted like a distance measure in a spatial model.

I assume that I need to work with the nb2listw function, but I am lost what to do in detail.

Thanks very much for your help in advance!
