It is a hybrid spatial model that combines the variable selection capabilities of stepwise regression methods with the predictive power of the Geographically Weighted Regression(GWR) model.The developed hybrid model follows a two-step approach where the stepwise variable selection method is applied first to identify the subset of predictors that have the most significant impact on the response variable, and then a GWR model is fitted using those selected variables for spatial prediction at test or unknown locations. For method details,see Leung, Y., Mei, C. L. and Zhang, W. X. (2000).DOI:10.1068/a3162.This hybrid spatial model aims to improve the accuracy and interpretability of GWR predictions by selecting a subset of relevant variables through a stepwise selection process.This approach is particularly useful for modeling spatially varying relationships and improving the accuracy of spatial predictions.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)

install.packages("StepGWR", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-stepgwr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-StepGWR

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
