Foundations of Spatial Regression

by SAL Plone Administrator last modified 2006-12-15 19:13

Date June 19-22, 2007
Place University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Instructor Dr. Luc Anselin
Fee $1,200 (fees fund the continued development of GeoDa)
Contact Julia Koschinsky
Info & Registration Workshop Site (note: site times out after 20 min)
AudienceAimed at users with an intermediate background in econometrics and some knowledge of spatial analysis. This course introduces the basic specifications, test statistics and estimation methods for linear spatial regression models. If you are interested in attending a GeoDa workshop, this workshop covers the methods implemented in GeoDa's spatial models.
Content
  • Review of spatial autocorrelation, spatial autocorrelation statistics, spatial weights
  • Specification of spatial dependence, spatial lag and spatial error models, spatial externalities
  • Estimation and specification testing for spatial dependence
  • Spatial heterogeneity, varying coefficient models, GWR
  • SummaryThe workshop will be held in a state of the art teaching laboratory at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. It spans four days, and will be held in two sessions, 9:00am-12:30 and 2:00-5:30pm (except on the last day, which will run from 8:30am to 4:00pm to allow participants sufficient time to return on the last flight out of Champaign airport).
    Lectures and demonstrations will be held in the morning session, while in the afternoon the emphasis will be on hands on experience and laboratory exercises using cutting edge specialized software, including GeoDa, R spdep, and PySpace. There will also be an opportunity to discuss individual research problems with Dr. Anselin in “office hours.” A reception and Happy Hour, respectively, are offered in the evening of the first and third day.
    Each participant will receive a package containing a CD with software, readings and sample data sets as well as printouts of all the course slides and other supporting materials.
