Geographically weighted regression (GWR) (Brunsdon et al. 1996; Fotheringham et al. 2002) is a useful technique for modelling local spatial relati onships between variables. The essential idea of GWR is that observations near to a model calibratio n p int have more influence in the estimation of regression coefficients than observations farther a way do. The standard GWR model employs a single bandwidth to control the distance-decay in this inf luence. In practice however, such a uniform bandwidth may not be sufficient in reflecting compl ex spatial variations in relationships between dependent and independent variables. In an attempt to roduce a more realistic model, this paper develops an extension to GWR, where flexible bandwi dths are found providing coefficient surfaces that vary at different spatial scales. Experiments are carried out on simulated datasets to test the m odel.
