Thanks for your suggestion, Henrique Here I attach a link to some notes by Robert Bivand, with a SAR model, see page 30
www.bias-project.org.uk/ASDARcourse/unit6_slides.pdf The difference with CAR is in the covariance structure, I run and example: # =============================================== library(spdep) set.seed(987654) # Columbus example in spdep library example(columbus) n <- length(col.gal.nb) coords <- coordinates(columbus) cards <- card(col.gal.nb) col.w <- nb2listw(col.gal.nb) uncorr_x <- rnorm(n) # uncorrelated random variable cor(uncorr_x, lag(col.w,uncorr_x)) # correlation # ============================== rho <- .5 # spatial autocorrelation # Case1: SAR IrW <- diag(n) - rho*listw2mat(col.w) # I - rho * W SARcov <- solve(t(IrW) %*% IrW) SARcovL <- chol((SARcov + t(SARcov))/2) autocorr_x <- t(SARcovL)%*%uncorr_x cor(autocorr_x, lag(col.w,autocorr_x)) # [,1] [1,] 0.3876456 # ================================================== I've did the same but with CAR structure CARcov = solve(IrW) # from (I-rhoW)^ -1 CARcovL = chol(CARcov) # Cholesky Decomposition a_x = t(CARcovL)%*%uncorr_x # cor(a_x,lag(col.W,a_x)) [,1] [1,] 0.06929324 # ================================================== I don't know if I'm simulating correctly the CAR, any help?
