build_and_transform_weights
Generate and transform spatial weights for geospatial analysis using methods like queen, rook, distance band, or k-nearest neighbors. Define parameters such as threshold, ID field, and transformation type to customize spatial relationships in GIS operations.
Instructions
Build and transform spatial weights in one step.
Parameters:
- data_path: Path to point shapefile or GeoPackage
- method: 'queen', 'rook', 'distance_band', or 'knn'
- id_field: Optional field name for IDs
- threshold: Distance threshold (required if method='distance_band')
- k: Number of neighbors (required if method='knn')
- binary: True for binary weights, False for inverse distance (DistanceBand only)
- transform_type: 'r', 'v', 'b', 'o', or 'd'
