## Saddlepoint approximation of global Moran's I test

### Description

The function implements Tiefelsdorf's application of the Saddlepoint approximation to global Moran's I's reference distribution.

### Usage

    lm.morantest.sad(model, listw, zero.policy=FALSE, alternative="greater",
      spChk=NULL, resfun=weighted.residuals, tol=.Machine$double.eps^0.5, maxiter=1000, tol.bounds=0.0001)
    print.moransad(x, ...)
    summary.moransad(object, ...)
    print.summary.moransad(x, ...)

### Arguments

`model` | an object of class `lm` returned by `lm`; weights may be specified in the `lm` fit, but offsets should not be used
`listw` | a `listw` object created for example by `nb2listw`
`zero.policy` | if TRUE assign zero to the lagged value of zones without neighbours, if FALSE assign NA
`alternative` | a character string specifying the alternative hypothesis, must be one of greater (default), less or two.sided.
`spChk` | should the data vector names be checked against the spatial objects for identity integrity, TRUE, or FALSE, default NULL to use `get.spChkOption()`
`resfun` | default: weighted.residuals; the function to be used to extract residuals from the `lm` object, may be `residuals`, `weighted.residuals`, `rstandard`, or `rstudent`
`tol` | the desired accuracy (convergence tolerance) for `uniroot`
`maxiter` | the maximum number of iterations for `uniroot`
`tol.bounds` | offset from bounds for `uniroot`
`x` | object to be printed
`object` | object to be summarised
`...` | arguments to be passed through

### Details

The function involves finding the eigenvalues of an n by n matrix, and numerically finding the root for the Saddlepoint approximation, and should therefore only be used with care when n is large.

### Value

A list of class `moransad` with the following components:

`statistic` | the value of the saddlepoint approximation of the standard deviate of global Moran's I.
`p.value` | the p-value of the test.
`estimate` | the value of the observed global Moran's I.
`alternative` | a character string describing the alternative hypothesis.
`method` | a character string giving the method used.
`data.name` | a character string giving the name(s) of the data.
`internal1` | Saddlepoint omega, r and u
`internal2` | f.root, iter and estim.prec from `uniroot`
`df` | degrees of freedom
`tau` | eigenvalues (excluding zero values)
