geographically weighted regression: a method for mapping isohyets in gilan province
نویسندگان
چکیده
so far several methods have been developed for mapping and interpolation of isohyets.one of the recently accepted methods is geographically weighting regression which is suitable for evaluation of spatial heterogeneity of dependent variable by using local regressions. in order to evaluate annually precipitation spatial variation, this study was conducted in gilan province which precipitation is distributed non-uniform due to different environmental conditions. the results of geographically weighting regression method were compared with another interpolation methods including global polynomial, local polynomial, inverse distance weighting (idw), spiline, kriging and co-kriging and . in this study, average of 20 years annually precipitation data of 185 meteorological observations over gilan province and its neighboring stations was used for modeling of spatial distribution variations of mean annual precipitation by using other variables like elevation and position of points to the sea level. cross validation technique was used to assessment accuracy of each interpolation methods. the result showed that geographically weighting regression method had minimum error with rmse=147 and had significant difference with the kriging method which was in the second rank with rmse=187. finally the best method for mapping isohyets in gilan province is geographically weighting regression method.

Mapping the Results of Geographically Weighted Regression
Geographically weighted regression (GWR) is a local spatial statistical technique for exploring spatial nonstationarity. Previous approaches to mapping the results of GWR have primarily employed an equal step classification and sequential no-hue colour scheme for choropleth mapping of parameter estimates. This cartographic approach may hinder the exploration of spatial nonstationarity by inadeq...

model which allows diferent relationships to exist at diferent points in space. This technique is loosely based on kernel regression. The method itself is introduced and related issues such as the choice of a spatial weighting function are discussed. Following this, a series of related statistical tests are considered which can be described generally as tests f o r spatial nonstationarity. Usin...
متن کاملGeographically weighted Poisson regression for disease association mapping.
This paper describes geographically weighted Poisson regression (GWPR) and its semi-parametric variant as a new statistical tool for analysing disease maps arising from spatially non-stationary processes. The method is a type of conditional kernel regression which uses a spatial weighting function to estimate spatial variations in Poisson regression parameters. It enables us to draw surfaces of...
متن کاملMapping the results of local statistics: Using geographically weighted regression.
The application of geographically weighted regression (GWR) - a local spatial statistical technique used to test for spatial nonstationarity - has grown rapidly in the social, health and demographic sciences. GWR is a useful exploratory analytical tool that generates a set of location-specific parameter estimates which can be mapped and analysed to provide information on spatial nonstationarity...
متن کاملC.5 Geographically Weighted Regression
Geographically weighted regression (GWR) was introduced to the geography literature by Brunsdon et al. (1996) to study the potential for relationships in a regression model to vary in geographical space, or what is termed parametric nonstationarity. GWR is based on the non-parametric technique of locally weighted regression developed in statistics for curve-fitting and smoothing applications, w...
