Define Irregular Lag Class Intervals

Use this dialog in the Autocorrelation Window to specify individual lag classes that are not necessarily uniform. In the cells of the spreadsheet you can specify the upper bound of the distance interval classes desired. Zero is always the lowest bound and the Active Lag Distance is always the upper bound, regardless of values entered in this dialog. In the example below, note that classes are separated first by 2 distance units, then by 4, 18, and 70 units.

Import

Import a text file containing the lag class interval bounds. In earlier versions of GS+ this file was called a step file and had an .stp extension. The format of the file to be imported is numeric-only records following a variable number of alphanumeric header records. For example:


  line 1: Optional header record 1
  line 2: Optional header record 2
  line 3: 2.0
  line 4: 4.0
  line 5: 8.0
  line 6: 12.0
  line 7: 30.0
  line 8: 100.0


This file describes 8 lag classes:
  0 to <2.0,
  2.0 to <4.0,
  4.0 to <6.0,
  6.0 to <12.0,
  12.0 to <30.0,
  30.0 to <100.0,
  100.0 to maximum lag distance.

You can adjust the active lag to be any value up to and including the maximum distance separating points in the input file, i.e. the maximum lag distance.

Actions

You may Print, Copy, or Export the contents of the worksheet using the menu commands of the main GS+ window, or via a right-click menu. You may also change the Decimal Places reported by highlighting a column and pressing the Increase or Decrease Decimals icon (or use the Data | Change Decimals menu command). Clicking on the top of a column will Sort the worksheet based on the column selected in alternating ascending or descending order. You may also change Column Widths by placing the cursor over the line between two columns and dragging to a new location.
