Підсумок	Geographically Weighted Principal Component Analysis (GWPCA) is a local dimensionality-reduction method introduced by Harris, Brunsdon, and Charlton in 2011. It extends classical PCA by fitting a separate weighted PCA at every location in a dataset, allowing eigenstructures — the principal components and their loadings — to vary continuously across geographic space rather than being constrained to a single global solution. GWPCA is suited to researchers in environmental science, public health, and regional economics who suspect that multivariate relationships among variables differ by location.	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.
