[R-sig-Geo] Local Moran'I for raster & focalFilter

Babak,

I looked at the original paper,
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1538-4632.1995.tb00338.x/abstract,
and the spdep manual, and other places, but they all seemed to be
saying somewhat different on the local moran statistic. I followed the
logic of the spdep::localmoran function, assuming that this is
"correct" and I should have phrased my answer more carefully: "based
onthe spdep::localmoran function, mean and variance should be
global...".  I do note that the two results are different but that
their correlation is very high R2 = 0.97; so perhaps they are both
right. Perhaps Roger can weigh in on this.

To make it run, in your code I replaced this:
filter<-c(NA,1,NA,1,1,1,NA,1,NA)
filter<-matrix(f,nc=3,nr=3,byrow=T)

with:
filter<-matrix(1 ,nc=3,nr=3)

But I checked this with Getis & Ord (1996), seems the formula, as you implement in the script, is not the same as what has been explained in the Getis & Ord. First difference is that, Xi is excluded in calculation of the global mean and variance. The second difference is that, in the line "lz <- mean(z[-i], na.rm=na.rm)", 'mean' should be replaced with 'sum'. I re-implemented this function. The example we used here came from that reference (p.266). The calculation for the cell 136 has also been provided in the book. The result that this new function returns is the same as with the book, now. But the strange thing to me is that it is not the same as spdep. Any comment?
