[R-sig-Geo] Linking lm residuls to specific polygon in shape files

[David Martell]

I am using the lm.morantest procedure in spdep to test for spatial
autocorrelation in my lm residuals.

I am not sure where this procedure gets the residuals.

I have prepared a GIS coverage that has a .shp file.  I ran the lm model,
produced the residuals, then put them them in the GIS coverage.


When I run lm in my R program, it produces an lm object that also contains
the residuals.


Does lm.morantest get the residuals from the .shp file or the lm object.

If it gets them from the latter, how does it determine which residual is
assigned to which polygon in the .shp file.

Thanks,

Dave Martell
