Hi all,
I have a question regarding matrices (produced using poy2nb in spdep).
I?m trying to produce an adjacency matrix from a GIS Polygon shapefile with about 500 individual polygons (queen or rook ? it doesn?t really matter for now), but conditional on the value of the parent polygon.
For instance, if a polygon had an arbitrary value of 1, I want to return a list of all neighboring polygons that have a value of 2 or 3 (ie. ? 1). The same would go for a polygon with a value of 2 (ie. return all neighbors with a value of ? 2).
Is there a solution to this issue built into spdep, do I need to use a different package, or is it possible to accomplish this with a subsetting command?
Thanks!
Rhys
