Saddlepoint approximation of local Moran's Ii tests
The function implements Tiefelsdorf's application of the Saddlepoint
approximation to local Moran's Ii's reference distribution. If the model
object is of class "lm", global independence is assumed; if of class
"sarlm", global dependence is assumed to be represented by the spatial
parameter of that model. Tests are reported separately for each zone
selected, and may be summarised using summary.localmoransad
.
Values of local Moran's Ii agree with those from localmoran()
,
but in that function, the standard deviate - here the Saddlepoint
approximation - is based on the randomisation assumption.

The function implements the analytical eigenvalue calculation together with trace shortcuts given or suggested in Tiefelsdorf (2002), partly following remarks by J. Keith Ord, and uses the Saddlepoint analytical solution from Tiefelsdorf's SPSS code.
If a histogram of the probability values of the saddlepoint estimate for the assumption of global independence is not approximately flat, the assumption is probably unjustified, and re-estimation with global dependence is recommended.
No n by n matrices are needed at any point for the test assuming no global dependence, the star-shaped weights matrices being handled as listw lists. When the test is made on residuals from a spatial regression, taking a global process into account. n by n matrices are necessary, and memory constraints may be reached for large lattices.
