The Spatial Error Model, developed within Anselin's spatial econometrics framework (1988), is a regression model that assumes spatial dependence enters through the error term: the disturbances of neighbouring units are correlated. It is used when unobserved shared factors make the errors of nearby observations move tog
Spatial interaction models predict the volume of flows — migrants, commuters, shoppers, trade, trips — between origins and destinations as a function of the size of each place and the distance or cost separating them. By analogy to Newton's gravity, interaction rises with the 'mass' of origin and destination and falls
The Spatial Lag Model is an autoregressive regression that assumes spatial dependence in the dependent variable itself: the outcome values of neighbouring units enter the model as an explanatory term (ρWy). It was formalised in Anselin's Spatial Econometrics (1988) and developed further by LeSage and Pace (2009), and i
The spatial panel model is a family of econometric models that adds spatial dependence to panel data (units observed over time). It combines fixed- or random-effects panel structure with spatial lag, spatial error, or spatial Durbin components, and is developed in the modern spatial-econometrics literature by Elhorst (
The Spatial Autoregressive Combined (SAC) model, also known as the SARAR model, simultaneously accounts for spatial dependence in both the dependent variable and the error term. Formalized by LeSage and Pace (2009), the SAC model combines the spatial lag model and the spatial error model into a single framework, estima
Universal kriging generalizes ordinary kriging to data whose mean varies systematically across space — a spatial trend or 'drift'. It models the mean as a function of the coordinates (or covariates) and krigs the residuals, so it can interpolate variables that drift in a preferred direction, such as temperature falling
