Bayesian Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression

Bayesian Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression (Bayesian MGWR) extends the MGWR framework by placing Bayesian priors on each spatially varying coefficient. Each predictor is allowed its own bandwidth — its own geographic scale of influence — while Bayesian inference replaces classical back-fitting with posterior sampling, yielding full uncertainty quantification for every local coefficient surface.
