Geographically Weighted Random Forest

Geographically Weighted Random Forest (GWRF) is a spatially local ensemble learning method that fits an independent Random Forest model at each observation location, weighting nearby training samples more heavily than distant ones through a spatial kernel function. It was introduced by Stefanos Georganos and colleagues in 2019 (published 2021) as an extension of Breiman's Random Forest to handle spatial non-stationarity — the phenomenon where predictor–response relationships vary across geographic space.
