Geographically Weighted Regression: The Analysis of Spatially Varying Relationships

Geographically Weighted Regression: The Analysis of Spatially Varying Relationships, 9780471496168 (0471496162), John Wiley & Sons, 2002

Geographical Weighted Regression (GWR) is a new local modelling technique for analysing spatial analysis. This technique allows local as opposed to global models of relationships to be measured and mapped. This is the first and only book on this technique, offering comprehensive coverage on this new 'hot' topic in spatial analysis.

Provides step-by-step examples of how to use the GWR model using data sets and examples on issues such as house price determinants, educational attainment levels and school performance statistics
Contains a broad discussion of and basic concepts on GWR through to ideas on statistical inference for GWR models
uniquely features accompanying author-written software that allows users to undertake sophisticated and complex forms of GWR within a user-friendly, Windows-based, front-end (see book for details).

Imagine reading a book on the climate of the United States which contained only data averaged across the whole country, such as mean annual rainfall, mean annual number of hours of sunshine, and so forth. Many would feel rather short-changed with such a lack of detail. We would suspect, quite rightly, that there is a great richness in the underlying data on which these averages have been calculated; we would probably want to see these data, preferably drawn on maps, in order to appreciate the spatial variations in climate that are hidden in the reported averages. Indeed, the averages we have been presented with may be practically useless in telling us anything about climate in any particular part of the United States. It is known, for instance, that parts of the north-western United States receive a great deal more precipitation than parts of the Southwest and that Florida receives more hours of sunshine in a year than New York. In fact, it might be the case that not a single weather station in the country has the characteristics depicted by the mean climatic statistics.
