• Resumen

  • We present a simple test of spatial autocorrelation based on the skedastic structure of the spatialseries. Its distribution function is known for all sample sizes. Moreover, it is very simple to obtain,specially in a case of small samples where the newGQsptest has great power, higher than otheralternatives existing in the literature.
