gearyc.boot {DCluster}

Generate Bootstrap Replicates of Geary's C Autocorrelation Statistic

Description

Generate bootstrap replicates of Geary's C autocorrelation statistic, by means of function boot form boot library. Notice that these functions should not be used separately but as argument statistic when calling function boot.

gearyc.boot is used when performing a non-parametric bootstrap.

gearyc.pboot is used when performing a parametric bootstrap.

Usage

gearyc.boot(data, i, ...)
gearyc.pboot(...)

Arguments

data

A dataframe containing the data, as specified in the DClustermanpage.

i

Permutation generated by the bootstrap procedure

...

Aditional arguments passed when performing a bootstrap.

Value

Both functions return the value of the statistic.
