Ajita Atreya <[email protected]>:
This is misguided advice from Yuval, who is telling you how to
duplicate the effects of [aweight] for cell-average data (almost but
not quite--you would have to deal with the constant term as well);
instead you should use [aweight] (help weight) for such a model.
You want spatial analysis, and -findit spatial- produces a
bewilderingly long list. The place to start is
. findit sppack
and the references cited there.

>> Hi,
>> I am trying to run spatial hedonic model. For that I need a spatial weight matrix. I have data on 24000 observations of property prices, the parcel number, lat and long associated , census tract numbers, structural attributes, location attributes. It it possible to make a spatial weight matrix in stata for my dataset???
