Local Spatial Regression/Evidence
Method evidence record

Local Spatial Regression

Local Spatial Regression fits a separate regression model at each location in a study area, allowing regression coefficients to vary continuously across space. Rather than forcing one global slope on all observations, it reveals where and how the relationship between predictors and an outcome changes geographically — producing a map of coefficients rather than a single number.
