Thanks. I'll have to see. It seem that I actually need to do this for
vector areas. so I guess I could make v.autocorrelate that would support
Moran's I and perhaps later Geary's C and other methods. I noticed that
v.autocorr used to exist in grass 5 (or is this again only the manual
page?). Anyway, I'll have a look and see if it is of any use. I know that
the vector engine has changed since then, and much of the code is probably
useless, but the algorithms might be of use... anyway I need it to support
a selected attribute field.

Sure.

You might be right. But I guess it wouldn't work for vectors?
No, vectors are fully supported - in fact a raster would be treated as
cell centre points. See the range of functions for building lists of
neighbours in the R spdep package. Are your vectors points or polygons?
What criteria for neighbours do you need? We can continue thread this on
the STATGRASS list if you like.

Yes that would be most helpful. Also it could state the reason for the
drop, like that some other module can handle this too, or blank for unknown?
