000982 : The spatial reference for the spatial weights matrix (<value>) does not appear to match the defined output coordinate system (<value>).

Description

The spatial reference associated with the spatial weights matrix file is different than the spatial reference specified by the output coordinate system. This could potentially lead to unexpected results. Spatial weights matrix files are tied to the input feature class, the Unique ID field, and the output coordinate system settings used when the .swm file was created.

Solution

To avoid confusion and to ensure accurate results, consider projecting your input feature class to match the output coordinate system settings and re-creating the spatial weights matrix file prior to running your analysis.
