About this course

A single global regression assumes a relationship is the same everywhere. It rarely is. GWR lets each location have its own coefficients.

This course walks through the intuition, the diagnostics, and the practical decisions — bandwidth, kernel, and interpretation — with worked examples.

What you'll learn

  • Explain when GWR beats global regression
  • Choose a kernel and bandwidth
  • Interpret local coefficients and R²
  • Diagnose multicollinearity and overfitting
  • Communicate results with maps

Requirements

  • Comfort with basic statistics
  • Prior exposure to linear regression
