Designs for detecting spatial dependence.(Report)
Apr 01, 2009; ... The aim of this article is to find optimal or nearly optimal designs for experiments to detect spatial dependence that might be in the data. The questions to be answered are: how to optimally select predictor values to detect the spatial structure (if it is existent) and how to avoid to ...
Investigating global and local categorical map configuration comparisons based on coincidence matrices.(Report)
Apr 01, 2009; ... The simple and intuitive nature of the coincidence matrix has not only made it the current "gold standard" for accuracy assessment (based on a sample of map pixels), but also a common tool for describing difference between two categorical maps (when all pixels are enumerated). It is this ...
Topology and dependency tests in spatial and network autoregressive models.(Report)
Apr 01, 2009; ... Social network analysis has been identified as a promising direction for further applications of spatial statistical and econometric models. The type of network analysis envisioned is formally identical to the analysis of geographical systems, in that both involve the measurement of ...
Population synthesis: comparing the major techniques using a small, complete population of firms.(Report)
Apr 01, 2009; ... Recently, disaggregate modeling efforts that rely on microdata have received wide attention by scholars and practitioners. Synthetic population techniques have been devised and are used as a viable alternative to the collection of microdata that normally are inaccessible because of ...
Knowledge spillovers and total factor productivity: evidence using a spatial panel data model.(Report)
Apr 01, 2009; ... This article investigates the impact of knowledge capital stocks on total factor productivity (TFP) through the lens of the knowledge capital model proposed by Griliches (1979), augmented with a spatially discounted cross-region knowledge spillover pool variable. The objective is to shift ...
