英文摘要：

This paper is devoted to developing the theory and methods of spatial autoeorrelation analysis based on the Moran statistics. Firstly, the mathematical process of the Moran＇s index is reconstructed with the theory of linear algebra. Two kinds of generalized spatial weighting matrix （GSWM） are defined as follows： one is the ideal spatial weighting matrix （ISWM）, and the other is the real spatial s I can be redefined by both ISWM and RSWM. weighting matrix （RSWM）. The Moran＇ Secondly, the theoretical essence of Mo ran＇s I is brought to light by using the ideas from symmetry and invariance of mathematical transform. The Moran＇s I is in fact the eigenvalue of ISWM and RSWM, and the corresponding eigenvector is just the vector consisting of the standardized data for spatial autocorrelation analysis. Thirdly, the Moran scatterplot is revised. Based on ISWM and RSWM, the Moran scatterplot for local analysis of spatial association is improved and the result is more satisfying than the original form. In the improved scatterplot, ISWM presents a straight line, and RSWM shows itself as a random distribution of data points. Three approaches to estimating the Moran＇s I are advanced as follows. （1） The method of formula. Three-step computation process is summed up by means of matrix theory. （2） The method of matrix. The scaling relation is employed to estimate the Moran＇s I by Calculating the eigenvalue of ISWM or RSWM. （3） The method of regression analysis. This approach is based on the correlation between the standardized vector and ISWM or RSWM. The key step of making analysis of spatial autoeorrelation is to construct the contiguity matrix. The spatial weighting matrix （SWM） is divided into four types. （1） locality correlation, （2） quasi-locality correlation, （3） quasi-long-distance correlation, and （4） long distance correlation associated with action at a distance. Different types of SWM are suitable for different eases of geographical analysis. The improved theo
