% PURPOSE: An example of using xy2cont()
%          to produce a sparse spatial weight matrix 
%          using a VERY large data set

% USAGE: xy2cont_d3

% number of observations

% generate artificial locational coordinates
xcoord = sort(randn(n,1));
ycoord = sort(randn(n,1));

% create contiguity matrix (1st order)

disp('patience ...');
