Local modeling in a regression framework

Mehak Sachdeva, Taylor Oshan and A. Stewart Fotherington

Chapter 7 in Handbook of Spatial Analysis in the Social Sciences, 2022, pp 123-141 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter introduces the concept of local versus global models and describes one type of local model, Geographically Weighted Regression, and its recent successor, Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression. The conceptual basis for this type of model is explained in terms of data-borrowing. An empirical example is given to demonstrate both the value of local regression models and freely available software for their calibration.
