lat2W
(nrows=5, ncols=5, rook=True, id_type='int', **kwargs)[source]¶Create a W object for a regular lattice.
number of rows
number of columns
type of contiguity. Default is rook. For queen, rook =False
string defining the type of IDs to use in the final W object; options are ‘int’ (0, 1, 2 …; default), ‘float’ (0.0, 1.0, 2.0, …) and ‘string’ (‘id0’, ‘id1’, ‘id2’, …)
optional arguments for pysal.weights.W
instance of spatial weights class W
Notes
Observations are row ordered: first k observations are in row 0, next k in row 1, and so on.
Examples
>>> from libpysal.weights import lat2W
>>> w9 = lat2W(3,3)
>>> "%.3f"%w9.pct_nonzero
'29.630'
>>> w9[0] == {1: 1.0, 3: 1.0}
True
>>> w9[3] == {0: 1.0, 4: 1.0, 6: 1.0}
True
