GWR4 (Geographically Weighted Regression)
What is GWR4?
GWR4 is a new release of a Microsoft Windows-based application software for calibrating geographically weighted regression (GWR) models, which can be used to explore geographically varying relationships between dependent/response variables and independent/explanatory variables. A GWR model can be considered a type of regression model with geographically varying parameters.
A most remarkable feature of this release is the function to fit semiparametric GWR models, which allow you to mix globally fixed terms and locally varying terms of explanatory variables simultaneously. The function can be applied to popular types of generalized linear modelling including Gaussian, Poisson, and logistic regressions.
