ggwr.sel: Crossvalidation of bandwidth for generalised GWR

Description

The function finds a bandwidth for a given generalised geographically weighted regression by optimzing a selected function. For cross-validation, this scores the root mean square prediction error for the generalised geographically weighted regressions, choosing the bandwidth minimizing this quantity.

Usage

ggwr.sel(formula, data = list(), coords, adapt = FALSE, gweight = gwr.Gauss,
 family = gaussian, verbose = TRUE, longlat = NULL, RMSE=FALSE,
 tol=.Machine$double.eps^0.25)

Value

returns the cross-validation bandwidth.

Arguments

formula

regression model formula as in glm

data

model data frame as in glm, or may be a SpatialPointsDataFrame or SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object as defined in package sp

coords

matrix of coordinates of points representing the spatial positions of the observations

adapt

either TRUE: find the proportion between 0 and 1 of observations to include in weighting scheme (k-nearest neighbours), or FALSE --- find global bandwidth

gweight

geographical weighting function, at present gwr.Gauss() default, or gwr.gauss(), the previous default or gwr.bisquare()

family

a description of the error distribution and link function to be used in the model, see glm

verbose

if TRUE (default), reports the progress of search for bandwidth

longlat

TRUE if point coordinates are longitude-latitude decimal degrees, in which case distances are measured in kilometers; if x is a SpatialPoints object, the value is taken from the object itself

RMSE

default FALSE to correspond with CV scores in newer references (sum of squared CV errors), if TRUE the previous behaviour of scoring by LOO CV RMSE

tol

the desired accuracy to be passed to optimize
