[Openspace] test on remaining autocorrelation

Hi List

How do you test for remaining autocorrelation in the Lag model?

My spatial diagnostics of OLS model showed clear indication of 
autocorrelation on residuals, so I apllied the lag model to try to get rid 
of this problem. However, regardless what I do to the model, The Likelihood 
Ratio Test comes always up as significant. In the GeoDa Workbook, page 209, 
it says "The (second) test is an alternative to the asymptotic significance 
test on the spatial autoregressive coefficient, it is NOT a test on 
remaining spatial autocorrelation."

So, how do we know whether or not the problem of autocorrelation was solved?

Thank you

Vania Ceccato Ps. The test on remaining autocorrelation was available in 
SpaceStat, why is it gone in GeoDa?
