Voronoi Data Linkage - Single variable and variance

Description

Reminder, have to create an example. This will be exported after we submit the paper for publication.

Usage

vdl_var(coords_sf, areal_sf, res_var, variance, var_method = "CS", buff)

Arguments

coords_sf

sf POINT target dataset.

areal_sf

sf POLYGON source dataset.

res_var

a character - the name of the variable in the areal_sf to be estimated in the coords_sf.

variance

a character - the name of the variable variance in the areal_sf to be estimated in the coords_sf.

var_method

a character representing the method to approximate the variance of the AI estimates. Possible values are "CS" (Cauchy-Schwartz) or "MI" (Moran's I).

buff

scalar numeric. Mostly for internal use.

Value

a sf object, containing the id_coords variable and the list_vars for the coords_sf spatial data set.
