[R-sig-Geo] stepwise algorithm for GWR

[Marco Helbich]

Dear Danlin and Joshua,

first of all thank you for your replies! Here some further notes for clarification: I have already estimated a global ols model (based on stepwise model selection) and because of some spatial effects I recalculated it as simultaneous autoregressive model. After that I tested this model for non-stationarity... and voilà there is one. Now I want to compare this one with the one offering the lowest aic. 

All the best
Marco
