Day 27, Mat115H

• You have a homework due today: calculating Moran's I. What questions do you have?
• A reminder that we want to finalize the survey Friday, so we'll need final input from each group. I'd like a written (two-page) description from each group, with your "product" and any essential comments.

  Let's start, actually, with 10 minutes of meetings within each group, so that you can sort out how to make that happen.

Once we know how to do that, I'll turn you loose to collect some more data so that we can compute a few more Moran's Is for Newport.

In the course of this, we'll also talk a little more about distributions.

• Let's review the calculation:
  

  In the case of Newport, the median incomes look like this:

   19779 ;; 501
   51071 ;; 504
   28507 ;; 505
   24538 ;; 506
   37917 ;; 524
   55711 ;; 525
   37772 ;; 532
  		

  and the adjacency matrix is

   0 0 0 1 0 0 1 ;; 501
   0 0 1 0 1 0 1 ;; 504
   0 1 0 1 1 1 1 ;; 505
   1 0 1 0 0 1 0 ;; 506
   0 1 1 0 0 1 0 ;; 524
   0 0 1 1 1 0 0 ;; 525
   1 1 1 0 0 0 0 ;; 532
  

  How do we proceed?
