[Openspace] Please explain the Bivariate Moran

[Coro Chasco Yrigoyen]

Dear Kyle,

You could run the bivariate Moran statistic on vegetation and any one of 
the quality life changes taking into account that one of the variables is 
the original and the other is its spatial lag. For example, vegetation (V) 
in a Chicago meter cell on a the quality life change spatial lag (W.Q). So 
you can explain the influence on vegetation (V) in a meter cell (i) of a 
quality life change variable in its neighbouring cells (W.Q).

I don't know if I explain myself correctly. You can also read:
