Four Matlab programs for computing the spatial autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation function analysis based on Moran’s index.

It provides four Matlab programs for calculating spatial autocorrelation function (ACF) and partial autocorrelation function (PACF). Among the four programs, two are significant: one is based on diagonal elements and variable weights, and the other is based on zero diagonal elements and fixed weights. Readers can employ the programs to carry out spatial ACF and PACF analyses by substituting the author’s data with their own data. (M)
