Calculate Bivariate Local Moran Statistics

Choose Local Moran > Bivariate Local Moran from the Methods menu. For the bivariate Local Moran, you will need to choose a geography and 2 datasets --one to consider at the "ego" (location i in the statistic) and a second to consider at neighboring locations, the times, the spatial weights set to use, and how to name the results datasets.

Input

When the task manager opens for calculating the Bivariate Local Moran, it will start on the "Input" section.

Advanced

The advanced section allows you to change the alpha level and to choose whether to use the Simes correction.

Output

The output section of the task manager for the Bivariate Local Moran asks for a name stem to use for output files.  The default name for analyses on the two times shown in the image of the input screen for the dataset "RWM" in the geography called "SEA" (State Economic Areas) is shown below.

Run method

The run method page presents a summary of the previous three pages so that you can review the choices you have selected.  If everything here looks correct, select the "Run" button at the bottom of the page.   The map output from this run is shown in the Interpreting Bivariate Local Moran Statistics pages; the run will also produce a Moran scatterplot.
