Dear all,

I have a brief question regarding Moran's I: Is there any research on the
behavior of Moran's I for situations where the spatial weights matrix is
binary, i.e. only includes either 1 or 0? Does Moran's I require weights
that are distributed in a certain way in the [0,1] interval? Or is it
sufficient to know who is connected to whom (i.e., binary weights)?
Specifically, I'm interested in the question whether the use of binary
weights introduces any form of bias in the estimated value of Moran's I.

Thanks very much for your reply in advance,

Michael
