Visualize Spatial Weights Matrix

[HannahMatzke]

I am wondering if there is a way to visualize a spatial weights matrix (SWM) in ArcMap?

Similarly to the illustration here:

I am in a class learning about how to generate and decide which SWM is right for our own data, but it is difficult to understand how some of the choices when generating a SWM we make effect how the neighborhood is created.

Hi Hannah,

Hope you have this solved already. If not, I think it could work if you convert the swm to table, then join the table back to your data, and change the symbology based on the weights.
