gwr.hetero: Heteroskedastic GWR

In GWmodel: Geographically-Weighted Models

Heteroskedastic GWR

Description

This function implements a heteroskedastic GWR model

Usage

gwr.hetero(formula, data, regression.points, bw, kernel="bisquare",
                    adaptive=FALSE, tol=0.0001,maxiter=50,verbose=T,
                    p=2, theta=0, longlat=F,dMat)

Arguments

formula	Regression model formula of a formula object
data	a Spatial*DataFrame, i.e. SpatialPointsDataFrame or SpatialPolygonsDataFrame as defined in package sp, or a sf object defined in package sf
regression.points	a Spatial*DataFrame object, i.e. SpatialPointsDataFrame or SpatialPolygonsDataFrame as defined in package sp
bw	bandwidth used in the weighting function, possibly calculated by bw.gwr;fixed (distance) or adaptive bandwidth(number of nearest neighbours)
kernel	function chosen as follows: gaussian: wgt = exp(-.5*(vdist/bw)^2); exponential: wgt = exp(-vdist/bw); bisquare: wgt = (1-(vdist/bw)^2)^2 if vdist < bw, wgt=0 otherwise; tricube: wgt = (1-(vdist/bw)^3)^3 if vdist < bw, wgt=0 otherwise; boxcar: wgt=1 if dist < bw, wgt=0 otherwise
adaptive	if TRUE calculate an adaptive kernel where the bandwidth (bw) corresponds to the number of nearest neighbours (i.e. adaptive distance); default is FALSE, where a fixed kernel is found (bandwidth is a fixed distance)
tol	the threshold that determines the convergence of the iterative procedure
maxiter	the maximum number of times to try the iterative procedure
verbose	logical, if TRUE verbose output will be made from the iterative procedure
p	the power of the Minkowski distance, default is 2, i.e. the Euclidean distance
theta	an angle in radians to rotate the coordinate system, default is 0
longlat	if TRUE, great circle distances will be calculated
dMat	a pre-specified distance matrix, it can be calculated by the function gw.dist

Value

SDF	a SpatialPointsDataFrame (may be gridded), or SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object (see package “sp”), or sf object (see package “sf”) integrated with coefficient estimates in its "data" slot.
