<DIV><SPAN class=911154920-13062008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am doing a spatial
regression analysis using the free software GeoDa and have a question about
spatial weights. Does anyone know if it is possible to edit the spatial
weights file created by Geoda? I can open the *.GAL file in notepad to see
how many neighbors a point shares based on the contiguity of Thiessen polygons
created around the points. However, I need to edit some of those neighbors
as they do not make geographic sense. While I can make such edits to *.GAL
file in notepad, I do not seem to be able to choose that newly edited file as
the weight file in GeoDa.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
