Package ‘GWmodel’

Abstract

In GWmodel, we introduce techniques from a particular branch of spatial statis- tics,termed geographically-weighted (GW) models. GW models suit situa- tions when data are not described well by some global model, but where there are spatial re- gions where a suitably localised calibration provides a better description. GWmodel in- cludes functions to calibrate: GW summary statistics, GW principal components analy- sis, GW discriminant analysis and various forms of GW regression; some of which are pro- vided in basic and robust (outlier resistant) forms
