Ordinary least squares regression.

b

Spatially adjusted model–using spatial error model.

c

Confidence interval.

d

Akaike’s Information Criteria, lower values indicating improved model fit.

e

Moran’s I statistic based on the residuals from the model, not calculated for models including spatial error term.
