Local Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR)
Local Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) estimates a separate regression model at each location in the study area, allowing every coefficient to vary spatially. By weighting nearby observations more heavily than distant ones, GWR reveals how predictor-outcome relationships shift across geographic space rather than forcing a single global estimate on heterogeneous data.
