spweightxt: Panel Spatial Weight Matrix

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

spweightxt varlist , panel(numlist) time(numlist) matrix(weight_name) tabel pt > abel

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

spweightxt creates or generates both Cross Section and Panel Spatial Weight Matrix among neighbor locations, for using in panel spatial regression analysis.

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

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

panel Number of all locations units

time Number of time series in each cross section (must be balanced)

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

table Display Cross Section Spatial Weight Matrix Table

ptable Display Panel Spatial Weight Matrix Table

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

spweightxt saves the following results in e():

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

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

clear all

sysuse spweightxt.dta, clear

spweightxt v1 v2 , panel(4) time(4) matrix(W)

spweightxt v1 v2 , panel(4) time(4) matrix(W) table

spweightxt v1 v2 , panel(4) time(4) matrix(W) ptable

spweightxt v1 v2 , panel(4) time(4) matrix(W) table ptable

ereturn list

db spweightxt

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

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