Has anyone seen a method for creating a neighbor list, for use in spatial auto-correlation tests, that treats the earth as a sphere so that relationships can go shortest distance. I'm trying to make a neighbor list of all countries in the world.
Yes I realize that the relatedness may not be distance and I might weight on some other factor but I need the neighbor list to start. Example, US <-> Japan, China or Russia should be a line across the Pacific Perhaps I need to develop the neighbor list using some sort of social diagramming tool instead. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks, Alex _______________________________________________ R-sig-Geo mailing list R-sig-Geo@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-geo
