Using Contiguity and k-Nearest Neighbors Methods for Spatial Durbin Models: A Comprehensive Guide
Creating Neighbor Lists for Spatial Durbin Models In this section, we will explore how to create two separate neighbor lists using contiguity and k-nearest neighbors, and then union them to guarantee at least one neighbor. Introduction When working with spatial durbin models, the choice of neighbor list can significantly impact the results. A well-chosen neighbor list ensures that the model captures the spatial autocorrelation in the data accurately. In this section, we will discuss how to create two separate neighbor lists using contiguity and k-nearest neighbors, and then union them.
