Spatial Autocorrelation - Non parametric Data

[angie.gonzalez2]

Hi,
Moran I test is commonly used to analyze spatial autocorrelation and it assumes the data is parametric. Is there a similar test to Moran I's that is able to be applied on non-parametric data?

Thank you!

The Mantel test is for non-parametric. See here

I'm being pedantic but its not data which can be called 'parametric'/'non parametric' ; its tests that are labelled this way.
parametric tests rely on assumptions about the data holding true, where-as non parametric tests dont.
