Dear all,

I noticed that the results of spatial lag/error model in Geoda Space do not include AIC or SIC values? 
How do we estimate these values in GeoDa Space?

Any feedback is helpful. Thank you.


Regards,
Kate

AIC and SC are included for the maximum likelihood estimation only. They are not
included for GMM estimation, since those methods do not assume normality (nor a
likelihood).
Hope this helps.

Dear Luc,

Thank you for clarification.

I would like to know: if SIC/AIC are not applicable in GMM estimation, which criteria could be used to judge which spatial regression performs better? (In my study, I would like to compare the performance of spatial lag, spatial error and SARAR models given the GMM setting).

Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you.


Regards,
Kate

There isn’t really a good measure of fit since the presence of spatial dependence
runs counter to the equal weights assumption implied in something like an R^2.
In GeoDaSpace, we report a pseudo-R^2 which is simply the squared correlation
between observed and predicted. It’s imperfect, but usually good enough to distinguish
a “bad” model from a better one. Ideally, one would like to do something like a cross-validation,
but with spatially dependent data that is difficult to implement.
Hope this helps.
