[Openspace] population weight in a regression

[Julia Koschinsky]

Bridgette,

GeoDa's weights matrices only record who is whose neighbor 
based on contiguity or distance. You currently cannot add a 
2nd variable to define your neighborhood structure in GeoDa. 
However, if your dataset isn't too large and you're careful, 
you can manually edit your weights matrix, e.g., in Notepad, 
to redefine who is whose neighbor.
