[R-sig-Geo] all localR2 has NA values in gwr

[Danlin Yu]

  Jorge:

 From what I see on your code, I would suspect that you kind of confuse 
the bandwidth with numbers of nearest neighbor. In your code, you use 
20, and I assume that meant the 20 nearest neighbors that you want for 
GWR calibration. Yet you didn't specify the adapt parameter in the code, 
which make the code think 20 is a distance value. I am not sure how the 
distance of 20 with longitude and latitude values would be, but I 
suspect this might be the cause. In addition, in the coordinates 
specification, longitude shall be the x, and latitude the y.

Try:

test=gwr(y~x1+x2,data=yourdata,cbind(longitude, 
latitude),adapt=0.05,gwr.bisquare,longlat=T)

to see what happens (I use 0.05 just for testing purpose, which means 5% 
of the total sample as the nearest neighbor for local estimation. Since 
you have more than 10,000 samples, the value will result in a local 
sample (local nearest neighbors) of 500. If you wan to try 20, then you 
can probably use 0.002 for the adapt parameter).

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Dr. Danlin Yu
