spweightcs: Cross Section Spatial Weight Matrix

+--------+ ----+ Syntax +-----------------------------------------------------------

spweightcs varlist , panel(numlist) matrix(weight_name) notabel

+-------------+ ----+ Description +------------------------------------------------------

spweightcs creates or generates cross section spatial weight matrix among neighbor locations, for using in spatial regression analysis.

Raw data for neighbor locations must be put as shown in the sample data file (spweightcs.dta).

+---------+ ----+ Options +----------------------------------------------------------

panel Number of all locations units

matrix Specify name of spatial weight matrix, that will be created

table Display Cross Section Spatial Weight Matrix Table

+---------------+ ----+ Saved Results +----------------------------------------------------

spweightcs saves the following results in e():

Matrixes e(wcs) Cross Section Spatial Weight Matrix.{p_end}

+---------+ ----+ Example +----------------------------------------------------------

clear all

sysuse spweightcs.dta, clear

spweightcs v1 v2 , panel(7) matrix(W)

spweightcs v1 v2 , panel(7) matrix(W) table

ereturn list

db spweightcs

The final shape of cross section spatial weight matrix will be as follows:.

------------------------------------- | # | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | |-----------------------------------| | 1 | 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 | | 2 | 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 | | 3 | 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 | | 4 | 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 | | 5 | 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 | | 6 | 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 | | 7 | 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 | -------------------------------------

After creating spatial weight matrix, you can use spautoreg (if installed) to generate eigenvalues vector and standardized weight matrix.
