r-cran-spatialreg - 1.2-6+dfsg-1 main

A collection of all the estimation functions for spatial cross-sectional
models (on lattice/areal data using spatial weights matrices) contained
up to now in 'spdep', 'sphet' and 'spse'. These model fitting functions
include maximum likelihood methods for cross-sectional models proposed
by 'Cliff' and 'Ord' (1973, ISBN:0850860369) and (1981,
ISBN:0850860814), fitting methods initially described by 'Ord' (1975)
. The models are further described
by 'Anselin' (1988) . Spatial two stage
least squares and spatial general method of moment models initially
proposed by 'Kelejian' and 'Prucha' (1998)
and (1999) are provided. Impact methods
and MCMC fitting methods proposed by 'LeSage' and 'Pace' (2009)
are implemented for the family of cross-
sectional spatial regression models. Methods for fitting the log
determinant term in maximum likelihood and MCMC fitting are compared by
'Bivand et al.' (2013) , and model fitting
methods by 'Bivand' and 'Piras' (2015) ; both
of these articles include extensive lists of references. 'spatialreg' >=
1.1-* correspond to 'spdep' >= 1.1-1, in which the model fitting
functions are deprecated and pass through to 'spatialreg', but will mask
those in 'spatialreg'. From versions 1.2-*, the functions will be made
defunct in 'spdep'.
