* Contains a broad discussion of and basic concepts on GWR throughto ideas on statistical inference for GWR models
* uniquely features accompanying author-written software thatallows users to undertake sophisticated and complex forms of GWRwithin a user-friendly, Windows-based, front-end (see book fordetails).
