I see:

To cite package 'spgwr' in publications use:

   Roger Bivand and Danlin Yu (2008). spgwr: Geographically weighted
   regression. R package version 0.5-4.
...

Is the "ATTENTION: ..." your warning? There are no publications about it 
as such, though it is mentioned in several (in particular in several of 
Danlin's papers) in the course of use. I'll leave it up to readers of the 
Bivand/Pebesma/Gómez-Rubio R-spatial book to see whether the section in 
Ch. 10 might serve, it is pretty short, and the book is slowly starting 
to reach people. The standard citation as above is reasonable, because it 
reflects the actual work put into the package itself.
