Part 2

For my part 2 analysis I ran a regression on the Baltimore City dataset to see if family size was correlated with poverty level.

pt2_size_pov_regr

The regression report calculated a Moran’s I value of 0.00016, suggesting that the two were strongly correlated. I then examined the values for Lagrange Lag and error, which were as follows:

Lag = 0.42748

Error = 0.00086

These results would indicate that the error model results are extremely significant, thus it is a better fit.

pt2_size_pov_regr_report

I then ran the error model, which yielded a probability of 0.00252, confirming my hypothesis of correlation.

pt2_hhsize_pov_regr_errormod_report

The resulting Bivariate Moran’s I Maps are displayed below.
