TLDR
In this paper, the authors discuss the nature of processes relating to human behaviour and how to model such processes when they vary over space, and describe the role of local modelling and how the bandwidth bandwidth is used.Abstract:
We discuss the nature of processes relating to human behaviour and how to model such processes when they vary over space. In so doing, we describe the role of local modelling and how the bandwidth ...read more

Mostly pointless spatial econometrics
Stephen Gibbons,Henry G. Overman +1 more
TL;DR: This work argues that identification problems bedevil most applied spatial research and advocates an alternative approach based on the ‘experimental paradigm’ which puts issues of identification and causality at centre stage.

On the importance of thinking locally for statistics and society
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examine the implications of thinking locally not only for modeling spatial processes but also more broadly in terms of our understanding of behavior in space, commenting on replicability and how local models can be used to measure previously unmeasurable place-based 'contextual' effects.

On the notion of ‘bandwidth’ in geographically weighted regression models of spatially varying processes
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined bandwidth at a conceptual, operational and empirical level within the framework of geographically weighted regression, one of the more frequently employed local spatial models, and outlined how bandwidth relates to three characteristics of spatial processes: variation, dependence and strength.

Reproducibility and Replicability in the Context of the Contested Identities of Geography
Daniel Z. Sui,Peter Kedron +1 more
TL;DR: The authors situates the current discussion of reproducibility and replicability taking place across the sciences within geographers' enduring discussion of nomothetic and idiographic approaches, and discuss the role of geographers in this discussion.

Richard Hartshorne's adaptation of Alfred Hettner's system of geography
Francis Harvey,Ute Wardenga +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, Hartshorne adapted Hettner's system of geography for an American audience, without engaging with fundamental ideological and intellectual changes which took place in Germany following the First World War.

Studying contextual effects on political behavior
John Books,Charles L. Prysby +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the recent progress of the field in an attempt to develop a coherent framework for categorizing and analyzing contextual effects and suggest profitable future research efforts based on previous research and their preferred approach to the field.

Scale, Context, and Heterogeneity: A Spatial Analytical Perspective on the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of spatial context in shaping voter preferences was identified and separated from other socioeconomic determinants, by calibrating a multiscale multi-scale context model.
