Spatial heterogeneity or non-stationarity has become a popular and necessary concern in exploring relationships between variables. In this regard, geographically weighted (GW) models provide a powerful collection of techniques in its quantitative description. We developed a user-friendly, high performance and systematic software, named GWmodelS, to promote better and broader usages of such models. Apart from a variety of GW models, including GW descriptive statistics, GW regression models, and GW principal components analysis, data management and mapping tools have also been incorporated with well-designed interfaces.
