[R-sig-Geo] Assessing residual spatial autocorrelation in a Poisson

[Roberto Patuelli]

Dear Karen,

I've also been working on spatial count (glm) models, in particular using 
spatial filtering (Griffith 2003), which helps you incorporating spatial 
autocorrelation in the mean response term.
Michael Tiefelsdorf has written a spatial filtering code in R, which is 
included in spdep. But it is based on a Moran's I minimization criterion 
only, and uses (if I'm not wrong) a linear model.
Instead I've used it on count regressions, by writing my own R code, which 
of course I'm willing to share :) For example, I will soon make the code 
used in this paper (http://ideas.repec.org/p/lug/wpaper/0806.html), which is 
forthcoming on the Annals of Regional Science, public.
See my website for more :))

Cheers
Roberto
