In contrast to traditional linear regression models, which have constant regression coefficients over space, regression coefficients are estimated locally at spatially referenced data points with gwr. By incorporating temporal effects into the geographically weighted regression gwr model, an extended gwr model, geographically and temporally weighted regression gtwr, has been developed to deal with both spatial and temporal nonstationarity simultaneously in real estate market data.
