Python library for Geographically Weighted Regression. Both Gaussian and Poisson GWR are supported.

pygwr builds on top of the statsmodels Python package (http://statsmodels.sourceforge.net). statsmodels provides all statistical algorithms underlying to GWR. pygwr uses a slightly modified version of statsmodels for supporting geographically weighted Poisson regression. pygwr implements all the weighting scheme of GWR.

An example of how to use pygwr can be found in the example folder, in the tokyo_gwr.py script. The readme.txt file in the example folder gives the instructions where to find the required dataset.
