Deriving the W-matrix via p-median complete correlation analysis of residuals

Most W-matrices are built on the basis of some metric or distance measure; this paper proposes correlation coefficients as a measure of proximity. The method is applied to the case of Belgium regional data and a small Monte Carlo confirms its utility.
