GW Modelling Workshops

These workshops encompass all forms of Geographically Weighted (GW) modelling, providing hands-on exercises such that participants can apply the GW techniques themselves. The workshops are based around the GWmodel R package. The workshops and associated software development were part of the StratAG research programme funded by Science Foundation Ireland.

Instructors:

  • Martin Charlton
  • Chris Brunsdon
  • Binbin Lu
  • Paul Harris

    • The next workshops will be held in 2016 – details will be posted shortly.

    Previous GWR and GW Modelling workshops

    Over the last decade and a bit we have held GWR and GW modelling workshops in a wide range of locations. Until the advent of the GWmodel package, the software we used was based around some FORTRAN code I’d written to accompany the book, with mapping of the outputs being carried out using ArcGIS. Our recent workshops have extended the areas covered to include geographically weighted summary statistics, correlation, and principal component analysis, and are now based on the GWmodel package.

    The shorter workshops consist of presentations about GW modelling, with some associated labs to help illustrate the concepts and provide practice at using the software. The longer workshops include additional presentations based on participants’ analysis of their own data.

    Most of the workshops have had around 20 participants, so there is now a sizeable corpus of GWR alumni.
