• Comparing estimation methods for spatial econometrics techniques using R 

      Bivand, Roger S. (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2010-10)
      Recent advances in spatial econometrics model fitting techniques have made it more desirable to be able to compare results and timings. Results should correspond between implementations using different applications, ...
    • Computing the Jacobian in spatial models : an applied survey 

      Bivand, Roger S. (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2010-08)
      Despite attempts to get around the Jacobian in fitting spatial econometric models by using GMM and other approximations, it remains a central problem for maximum likelihood estimation. In principle, and for smaller data ...
    • Exploiting parallelization in spatial statistics: an applied survey using R 

      Bivand, Roger S. (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2010-10)
      Computing tasks may be parallelized top-down by splitting into per-node chunks when the tasks permit this kind of division, and particularly when there is little or no need for communication between the nodes. Another ...
