Dear statalisters.
I am working with a hedonic price study where I whould like to check for
and correct for spatial autocorrelation. For this I whould like to
create a spatial weight matrix based on the x- and y-coordinates for
each house using the spatwmat-command in spdep. Since I have Intercooled
Stata the maximum matsize that I can set is 800, which means that I can
use no more than 800 observations. But since I cannot set memory to more
than 940m, the actual numbers of observations that I can use is less
than 500. This is to few.
After reading some old questions concerning memory problems I realize
that this might be a problem that is hard to solve.
Does any of you have any suggestions on how I can increase the memory in
Stata. Can increasing the RAM-memory on my computer help? Or is it
unrealistic to think that it will be possible to create a matrix whith
the spatwmat-command that will be almost 8000x800 on a "standard"
computer? Should I change to some other software and what in that case?
I am greatful for any suggestions!
