110611: The spatial autoregressive parameter, rho, is outside of the range [-1, 1]. This indicates a misspecified model and predictions cannot be made.

Description

The spatial autoregressive parameter, rho, must be between -1 and 1. If rho is outside this range, it is indicative of the model being incorrectly specified. It suggests issues with the spatial weights matrix or an inability to model the underlying spatial process in the dependent variable. In this case, predictions cannot be made reliably.

Solution

Modify the neighborhood type or add additional explanatory variables to improve the model specification.
