I am sorry. I forgot to add the R-Codes.
Best,

Dear list members,

In moran scatter plot, I checked
[1] Slope of lm((spatial lagged variable) ~ (variable)): moran coefficient
(spdep:::moran.plot),
[2] Slope of lm((spatial lagged standardized variable) ~ (standardized
variable)): moran coefficient, and
[3] Slope of lm((standardized spatial lagged variable) ~ (standardized
variable)): correlation coefficient.
However, I think Anselin (1999) remark case [3] is moran coefficient. Is
it true?

analysis. In: Longley P.A., Goodchild M.F., Maguire D.J., Rhind D.W. (eds)

Thanks and regards,

Takahiro
