This workshop was one part of the 2020 UCGIS Symposium.

Presenter: Mehak Sachdeva, Arizona State University

This twohour workshop will introduce participants to the local spatial modeling technique MGWR. The presenter will host a Zoom session with participants and introduce the fundamental theoretical and technical foundation required to understand the tool using online presentations on Google slides (open to participants to easily follow along). Subsequently, the presenter will walk through an application of the method using Google Colaboratory where the code and data used to run the example will be provided for open access to the participants. Participants will also be given a handson introduction to the types of research problems that can be investigated with the tool and will learn how to prepare data for implementation in the software followed by critical visualization of the results.
