In this study, we present a collection of local models, termed geographically weighted \n(GW) models, that can be found within the GWmodel R package. A GW model suits \nsituations when spatial data are poorly described by the global form, and for some \nregions the localised fit provides a better description. The approach uses a moving \nwindow weighting technique, where a collection of local models are estimated at target \nlocations. Commonly, model parameters or outputs are mapped so that the nature of \nspatial heterogeneity can be explored and assessed. In particular, we present case \nstudies using: (i) GW summary statistics and a GW principal components analysis; (ii) \nadvanced GW regression fits and diagnostics; (iii) associated Monte Carlo significance \ntests for non-stationarity; (iv) a GW discriminant analysis; and (v) enhanced kernel \nbandwidth selection procedures. General Election data sets from the Republic of \nIreland and US are used for demonstration. This study is designed to complement a \ncompanion GWmodel study, which focuses on basic and robust GW models.
