In regression analysis you can take a dependent variable in our case average gcse scores in wards across london and try and explain variation these scores using an independent variable. Thus, the objective of this paper is to extend beta regression concepts to geographically weighted regression, namely geographically weighted beta regression gwbr, in order to model rate or proportion data restricted to the interval 0, 1 in a spatial context, and, in this way, providing to the analyst with another option to model the data.
