Iterative Spatial Regrouping of Administrative Units by Attributive Affinity
Evaluates the statistical coherence of existing administrative partitions (e.g. inter-municipal groupings, districts) by identifying spatial units whose attributive profile is more similar to a neighbouring group than to their own. Border units are iteratively reassigned to the group they are most affine with, based on Euclidean or Mahalanobis distance computed on user-supplied numeric variables, with optional per-variable weighting and standardisation. Spatial contiguity is enforced throughout: isolated candidates are reintegrated into their original group, disconnected fragments are resolved, and empty groups are restored. Convergence is monitored via an eta-squared cohesion criterion. The resulting partition can be compared to the original administrative delineation using multilevel models, providing a quantitative measure of boundary inefficiency.
