Hi all-

When I read a shapefile using read.shape into R, and used Map2poly -> poly2nb 
to create my neighbor list, the summary of the newly created neighbor list 
indicates that all the regions have zero link.

The shapefile is a modified census tract shapefile of New Jersey: a few tracts 
that have no useful attributal information were deleted from the map (hence 
left some holes) in ArcGIS (Start Edit -> select -> delete).

The original shapefile (with all the tracts) was read fine and create the 
correct neighbor list. But when using this modified one, I got all zero link. 
The same happened when I used GeoDa. Is this because of the holes created in 
the shapefile by deleting some polygons? If so, how can I make it work? If not, 
can anyone please direct me to the right solution?

Many thanks.

Best,
Danlin
