[R-sig-Geo] Multivariate spatio-temporal modelling

[Nicola Batchelor]

Hi Danlin,

Thanks.  If Im honest I don't know much about GWR and also I'm rubbish at
coding (I come from an epidemiology background, not spatial analysis), so
ideally for me whichever package I use will have lots of instructions!  

At the moment I'm just putting together a grant proposal so I just wanted to
make sure that it is possible to do what I want to do, but it seems like it
is possible.  I'll talk with my supervisor about the methods and let him
know about the possibility of a geographically weighted panel regression and
see what he thinks.

Thanks again,
Nicola

Dear Nicola Batchelor:

I am also quite interested in spatiotemporal modeling, specifically 
spatiotemporal regression analysis. I am not quite sure whether this 
would help, but I am developing a "geographically weighted panel 
regression" method combining both spgwr and plm packages. The 
development is in a very early stage. If you are interested and more 
importantly, if you are looking for a regression-like analysis, we might 
be able to discuss further for the codes and relevant information.

Best,
Danlin
