{title:Description}

{p} {cmd:xtmoran} computes the global spatial autocorrelation statistic: Moran's {it:I} and local spatial autocorrelation statistics: Moran's {it:Ii}. 
{cmd:xtmoran} computes anddisplays in tabular form the statistic itself, the expected value of the statistic under the null hypothesis of global spatial independence, the standard deviation of the statistic, the {it:z}-value, and the corresponding 2-tail {it:p}-value.
{cmd:xtmoran} also displays a Moran scatterplot.

{title:Stored results}

{pstd}
{cmd:xtmoran} stores the following in {cmd:r()}:

{synoptset 20 tabbed}{...}
{p2col 5 20 24 2: Scalars}{p_end}
{synopt:{cmd:r(N)}}Number of cross-sections.{p_end}
{synopt:{cmd:r(T)}}Number of time periods.{p_end}

{synoptset 20 tabbed}{...}
{p2col 5 20 24 2: Matrices}{p_end}
{synopt:{cmd:r(moran)}} A (T x 5) matrix containing the results of Moran's {it:I}.{p_end}
{synopt:{cmd:r(morani{it:time})}} A (N x 6) matrix containing the results of Moran's {it:Ii}.{p_end}
