Hi,

I'm trying to use the cluster analysis program Flexscan, which I gather is similar to Satscan but it computes irregular clusters. This program requires a polygon adjacency matrix (termed a 'matrix definition file'). The example they provide has a row for every polygon, and for each row every neighboring polygon is listed in successive columns. So for instance if row 1 / polygon 1 has 3 neighbors there will be three polygons listed in columns 2-4.

I have tried some techniques like the spatial weights matrix tools in ArcGIS and in Spatstat, but I cannot get the output in this kind of format. Was wondering if there is some obvious way to do this in R.

The documentation for Flexscan is here:

https://sites.google.com/site/flexscansoftware/download_e/FleXScan%20User%20Guide_e31.pdf?attredirects=0&d=1

Something like:

library(spdep)
example(nc.sids)
out <- sapply(seq(along=ncCR85_nb), function(i) paste(attr(ncCR85_nb,
  "region.id")[i], paste(attr(ncCR85_nb, "region.id")[ncCR85_nb[[i]]],
  collapse=" ")))
writeLines(out, tf)
file.show(tf)

Thanks for any help,
