1 Overview
Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) is a statistical method that considers factors that vary from place to place (like climate, demographics, or physical environment) and models how these factors relate to a specific outcome (dependent variable). This hands-on session will teach you how to create hedonic pricing models using GWR. The focus is on resale prices of condominiums in 2015, with independent variables categorized as structural and locational.
2 The Data
Two datasets will be used:
- URA Master Plan subzone boundaries in shapefile format (MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL)
- Condo resale data for 2015 in CSV format (condo_resale_2015.csv)
3 Getting Started
Before diving in, it’s crucial to install the required R packages and activate them in the R environment.
Packages Explanation
olsrr: A package designed for tools that assist in the model building and exploratory analysis associated with ordinary least squares regression.
corrplot: A graphical display of a correlation matrix, confidence interval, or general matrix-like visualization to assist with interpretative analysis.
ggpubr: An ‘ggplot2’ extension that simplifies creating beautiful graphics for publication, offering an easy-to-use set of tools for descriptive statistics and a rich array of plots.
sf: This package provides simple and straightforward ways to handle and manipulate spatial vector data in R, integrating tightly with the ‘tidyverse’ and ‘ggplot2’.
spdep: Spatial dependence: weighting schemes, statistics, and models; a collection of functions to create spatial weights matrix objects from polygon contiguities, from point patterns by distance and tessellations, for summarizing these objects, and for permitting their use in spatial data models.
GWmodel: An R package for fitting Geographically Weighted Models, which are spatial statistical models that allow local rather than global parameters to be estimated.
tmap: An R library for creating thematic maps, which are designed to represent spatial variation of a subject using statistical data.
tidyverse: An opinionated collection of R packages designed for data science tasks that make it easy to import, tidy, transform, and visualize data.
gtsummary: This package provides an elegant and flexible way to create publication-ready analytical and summary tables using the ‘gt’ package, integrating with ‘broom’ and ‘tidyverse’ workflows.
4 A Brief Note on GWmodel
The GWmodel package offers a set of localized spatial statistical methods. These include GW summary statistics, GW principal components analysis, GW discriminant analysis, and various forms of GW regression, some of which are robust (resistant to outliers). Typically, the results or parameters from GWmodel are visually mapped, serving as an insightful exploration tool. This often comes before or guides more traditional or advanced statistical analyses.
5 Geospatial Data Wrangling
Importing Geospatial Data
In this practical exercise, we’ll be using geospatial data named MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL. It’s in ESRI shapefile format and represents URA Master Plan 2014’s planning subzone boundaries. These geographic boundaries are depicted using polygon features, and the GIS data uses the svy21 projected coordinate system.
The code snippet below demonstrates how to import the MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL shapefile using the st_read() function from the sf package.
Code
mpsz = st_read(dsn = "../data/geospatial", layer = "MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL")Reading layer `MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL' from data source
`C:\ameernoor\ISSS624\data\geospatial' using driver `ESRI Shapefile'
Simple feature collection with 323 features and 15 fields
Geometry type: MULTIPOLYGON
Dimension: XY
Bounding box: xmin: 2667.538 ymin: 15748.72 xmax: 56396.44 ymax: 50256.33
Projected CRS: SVY21The report above indicates that the R object containing the imported shapefile is named mpsz, and it’s a simple feature object with a geometry type of multipolygon. It’s important to note that the mpsz object lacks EPSG information.
Updating Coordinate System Information
The following code snippet ensures that the recently imported mpsz is updated with the correct ESPG code, which is 3414.
Code
mpsz_svy21 <- st_transform(mpsz, 3414)Once the projection metadata is transformed, you can check the projection of the updated mpsz_svy21 using st_crs() from the sf package.
The code below will be used to check the updated mpsz_svy21.
Code
st_crs(mpsz_svy21)Coordinate Reference System:

Next, to see the full extent of mpsz_svy21, you can use st_bbox() from the sf package.
Code
st_bbox(mpsz_svy21) #view extent xmin ymin xmax ymax
2667.538 15748.721 56396.440 50256.334
Functions
- st_transform from sf package is used to transform the coordinate reference system (CRS) of a spatial object. In the code,
mpszis transformed to CRS 3414. - st_crs from sf package retrieves the CRS information of a spatial object. Here, it is used to check the CRS of the transformed
mpsz_svy21. - st_bbox from sf package computes the bounding box of a spatial object. The code uses it to view the extent of
mpsz_svy21. - The transformation to CRS 3414 and subsequent checking of CRS and bounding box provide important spatial information about the dataset, which is essential in geospatial analyses.
6 Aspatial Data Wrangling
Importing Aspatial Data
The condo_resale_2015 data comes in CSV format. The code below uses the read_csv() function from the readr package to bring condo_resale_2015 into R, and it becomes a tibble data frame named condo_resale.
Code
condo_resale = read_csv("../data/aspatial/Condo_resale_2015.csv")After importing the data, it’s essential to check if everything is in order. The code snippets below, using glimpse(), help you understand the structure of the data.

Currently, condo_resale is a tibble data frame without spatial information. Let’s convert it into a sf object. The code below transforms condo_resale into a simple feature data frame using st_as_sf() from the sf package.
Code
condo_resale.sf <- st_as_sf(condo_resale,
coords = c("LONGITUDE", "LATITUDE"),
crs=4326) %>%
st_transform(crs=3414)Note that st_transform() from the sf package is used to change the coordinates from wgs84 (i.e., crs:4326) to svy21 (i.e., crs=3414).
Next, using head(), you can check the content of condo_resale.sf.
Code

7 Exploratory Data Analysis
In this part, you’ll discover how to use visual tools from the ggplot2 package for Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA).
To understand the distribution of SELLING_PRICE, check out the code below. It generates a histogram:
Code
ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x=`SELLING_PRICE`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
The graph above shows a right-skewed distribution, indicating more condos were sold at relatively lower prices.
Statistically, we can normalize the skewed distribution by applying a log transformation. The following code creates a new variable, LOG_SELLING_PRICE, using the log transformation on SELLING_PRICE with mutate() from the dplyr package.
Code
condo_resale.sf <- condo_resale.sf %>%
mutate(`LOG_SELLING_PRICE` = log(SELLING_PRICE))Now, you can plot LOG_SELLING_PRICE using the code below.
Code
ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x=`LOG_SELLING_PRICE`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
Notice that the distribution is less skewed after the transformation.
In this part, you’ll learn to create a set of small multiple histograms (also called trellis plots) using ggarrange() from the ggpubr package.
The code below generates 12 histograms and organizes them into a 3-column by 4-row layout using ggarrange().
Code
AREA_SQM <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `AREA_SQM`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
AGE <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `AGE`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_CBD <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_CBD`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_CHILDCARE <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_CHILDCARE`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_ELDERLYCARE <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_ELDERLYCARE`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_URA_GROWTH_AREA <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf,
aes(x= `PROX_URA_GROWTH_AREA`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_HAWKER_MARKET <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_HAWKER_MARKET`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_KINDERGARTEN <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_KINDERGARTEN`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_MRT <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_MRT`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_PARK <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_PARK`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_PRIMARY_SCH <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x= `PROX_PRIMARY_SCH`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
PROX_TOP_PRIMARY_SCH <- ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf,
aes(x= `PROX_TOP_PRIMARY_SCH`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue")
ggarrange(AREA_SQM, AGE, PROX_CBD, PROX_CHILDCARE, PROX_ELDERLYCARE,
PROX_URA_GROWTH_AREA, PROX_HAWKER_MARKET, PROX_KINDERGARTEN, PROX_MRT,
PROX_PARK, PROX_PRIMARY_SCH, PROX_TOP_PRIMARY_SCH,
ncol = 3, nrow = 4)
Finally, let’s visualize the geographic distribution of condominium resale prices in Singapore. We’ll use the tmap package for this.
Code
# activate interactive mode
tmap_mode("plot")
# correct the invalid geometry
fixed_geom <- sf::st_make_valid(mpsz_svy21[mpsz_svy21$REGION_N == "CENTRAL REGION", ])
# create the map
tm_shape(fixed_geom)+
tm_polygons() +
tm_shape(condo_resale.sf) +
tm_dots(col = "SELLING_PRICE",
alpha = 0.6,
style="quantile") +
tm_view(set.zoom.limits = c(11,14))Note that we’re using tm_dots() instead of tm_bubbles().
The set.zoom.limits parameter in tm_view() sets the minimum and maximum zoom level to 11 and 14, respectively.
Before moving on to the next section, switch R display back to plot mode using the code below:
Code
tmap_mode("plot")8 Building Hedonic Pricing Models for Condos in R
In this part, you’ll understand how to create hedonic pricing models for resale condominiums using the lm() function in the R base.
Using Simple Linear Regression
First, we’ll make a simple linear regression model. We’ll use SELLING_PRICE as the result we want to predict and AREA_SQM as the factor we think influences it.
Code
condo.slr <- lm(formula=SELLING_PRICE ~ AREA_SQM, data = condo_resale.sf)The lm() function gives us a result object, and we can get more details using functions like summary():
Code
summary(condo.slr)
Call:
lm(formula = SELLING_PRICE ~ AREA_SQM, data = condo_resale.sf)
Residuals:
Min 1Q Median 3Q Max

Multiple R-squared: 0.4518, Adjusted R-squared: 0.4515
F-statistic: 1182 on 1 and 1434 DF, p-value: < 2.2e-16The report shows that the SELLING_PRICE can be estimated using the formula:
*y = -258121.1 + 14719x1*An R-squared value of 0.4518 indicates that our model explains about 45% of resale prices.
With a p-value much smaller than 0.0001, we reject the idea that the average is a good estimate of SELLING_PRICE. This lets us conclude that our simple linear regression model is a good estimator.
In the Coefficients: section, both Intercept and AREA_SQM have p-values smaller than 0.001, suggesting we reject the null hypothesis for B0 and B1. Thus, we can infer that B0 and B1 are good parameter estimates.
To visualize the best-fit line on a scatterplot, we can use lm() as a method function in ggplot’s geometry:
Code

Using Multiple Linear Regression
Visualizing Independent Variable Relationships
Before creating a multiple regression model, it’s crucial to check that independent variables aren’t highly correlated. If they are, it can compromise the model quality, a phenomenon known as multicollinearity in statistics.
A correlation matrix is commonly used to visualize relationships between independent variables. The corrplot package can help with this. The code below generates a scatterplot matrix for the independent variables in the condo_resale data.frame.
Code
corrplot(cor(condo_resale[, 5:23]), diag = FALSE, order = "AOE",
tl.pos = "td", tl.cex = 0.5, method = "number", type = "upper")
Matrix reorder is crucial for mining hidden structures and patterns. Four methods in corrplot (parameter order) are available: “AOE”, “FPC”, “hclust”, “alphabet”. In the above code, AOE order is used, ordering variables using the angular order of the eigenvectors method suggested by Michael Friendly.
The scatterplot matrix reveals that Freehold is highly correlated with LEASE_99YEAR. To avoid multicollinearity, it’s wise to include only one of them in the subsequent model. As a result, LEASE_99YEAR is excluded in the next model.
Building a Hedonic Pricing Model with Multiple Linear Regression
The code below uses lm() to build the multiple linear regression model.
Code

Statistical Assumption Tests
In this section, we’ll introduce a powerful R package designed for OLS regression - olsrr. It offers valuable methods for enhancing multiple linear regression models:
- Comprehensive regression output
- Residual diagnostics
- Measures of influence
- Heteroskedasticity tests
- Collinearity diagnostics
- Model fit assessment
- Variable contribution assessment
- Variable selection procedures
The code chunk below uses the ols_vif_tol() function of the olsrr package to test for signs of multicollinearity.
Code

14 FREEHOLD 0.6931163 1.442759Since the VIF of the independent variables is less than 10, we can conclude that there are no signs of multicollinearity among the independent variables.
It’s essential to test the assumption of linearity and additivity of the relationship between dependent and independent variables in multiple linear regression.
In the code chunk below, the ols_plot_resid_fit() function of the olsrr package is used to perform a linearity assumption test.
Code
ols_plot_resid_fit(condo.mlr1)
The figure above reveals that most data points scatter around the 0 line, suggesting that the relationships between the dependent variable and independent variables are linear.
Finally, the code chunk below uses ols_plot_resid_hist() of the olsrr package to perform a normality assumption test.
Code
ols_plot_resid_hist(condo.mlr1)
The figure indicates that the residual of the multiple linear regression model (i.e., condo.mlr1) resembles a normal distribution.
If you prefer formal statistical tests, the ols_test_normality() of the olsrr package can be used, as shown in the code chunk below.
Code
ols_test_normality(condo.mlr1)-----------------------------------------------
Test Statistic pvalue
-----------------------------------------------
Shapiro-Wilk 0.6856 0.0000
Kolmogorov-Smirnov 0.1366 0.0000
Cramer-von Mises 121.0768 0.0000
Anderson-Darling 67.9551 0.0000
-----------------------------------------------The summary table above shows that the p-values of the four tests are much smaller than the alpha value of 0.05. Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis, indicating there is statistical evidence that the residuals are not normally distributed.
Since our hedonic model uses geographically referenced attributes, visualizing the residuals is crucial.
To perform a spatial autocorrelation test, we’ll convert condo_resale.sf from an sf data frame into a SpatialPointsDataFrame.
First, export the residuals of the hedonic pricing model and save them as a data frame.
Code
mlr.output <- as.data.frame(condo.mlr1$residuals)Next, join the newly created data frame with condo_resale.sf.
Code
condo_resale.res.sf <- cbind(condo_resale.sf,
condo.mlr1$residuals) %>%
rename(`MLR_RES` = `condo.mlr1.residuals`)Now, convert condo_resale.res.sf from a simple feature object into a SpatialPointsDataFrame since the spdep package processes sp-conformed spatial data objects.
The code chunk below performs the data conversion process.
Code
condo_resale.sp <- as_Spatial(condo_resale.res.sf)

The code churn below turns on the interactive mode of tmap.
Code
tmap_mode("plot")The code chunks below create an interactive point symbol map.
Code
tm_shape(mpsz_svy21)+
tmap_options(check.and.fix = TRUE) +
tm_polygons(alpha = 0.4) +
tm_shape(condo_resale.res.sf) +
tm_dots(col = "MLR_RES",

tm_view(set.zoom.limits = c(11,14))
Remember to switch back to “plot” mode before continuing.
Code
tmap_mode("plot")The figure above reveals signs of spatial autocorrelation.
To verify our observation, the Moran’s I test will be performed.
First, compute the distance-based weight matrix using dnearneigh() function of the spdep package.
Code

1.438876e-01 -5.487594e-03 3.758259e-05 The Global Moran’s I test for residual spatial autocorrelation shows that its p-value is less than 0.00000000000000022, which is less than the alpha value of 0.05. Hence, we reject the null hypothesis that the residuals are randomly distributed.
Since the Observed Global Moran I = 0.1424418, which is greater than 0, we can infer that the residuals resemble a cluster distribution.
9 Building Hedonic Pricing Models using GWmodel
In this section, you’ll learn how to model hedonic pricing using both fixed and adaptive bandwidth schemes.
Building Fixed Bandwidth GWR Model
Computing fixed bandwidth
In the code chunk below, the bw.gwr() function of the GWModel package is used to determine the optimal fixed bandwidth for the model. The argument adaptive set to FALSE indicates that we want to compute the fixed bandwidth.
There are two possible approaches to determine the stopping rule: CV cross-validation and AIC corrected (AICc). The stopping rule is defined using the approach argument.
Code
bw.fixed <- bw.gwr(formula = SELLING_PRICE ~ AREA_SQM + AGE + PROX_CBD +

Building Adaptive Bandwidth GWR Model
In this section, we will calibrate the gwr-based hedonic pricing model using the adaptive bandwidth approach.
Computing the adaptive bandwidth
Similar to the earlier section, we will first use bw.gwr() to determine the recommended data points to use.
The code chunk looks very similar to the one used to compute the fixed bandwidth, except the adaptive argument has changed to TRUE.

Program stops at: 2023-12-18 02:18:12.430012 The report shows that the AICc of the adaptive distance gwr is 41982.22, which is even smaller than the AICc of the fixed distance gwr of 42263.61.
Visualizing GWR Output
In addition to regression residuals, the output feature class table includes fields for observed and predicted y values, condition number (cond), Local R2, residuals, and explanatory variable coefficients and standard errors:
- Condition Number: this diagnostic evaluates local collinearity. In
the presence of strong local collinearity, results become unstable. Results associated with condition numbers larger than 30 may be unreliable. - Local R2: these values range between 0.0 and 1.0 and indicate how well the local regression model fits observed y values. Very low values indicate the local model is performing poorly. Mapping the Local R2 values to see where GWR predicts well and where it predicts poorly may provide clues about important variables that may be missing from the regression model. - Predicted: these are the estimated (or fitted) y values computed by GWR. - Residuals: to obtain the residual values, the fitted y values are subtracted from the observed y values. Standardized residuals have a mean of zero and a standard deviation of 1. A cold-to-hot rendered map of standardized residuals can be produced by using these values. - Coefficient Standard Error: these values measure the reliability of each coefficient estimate. Confidence in those estimates is higher when standard errors are small in relation to the actual coefficient values. Large standard errors may indicate problems with local collinearity.
They are all stored in a SpatialPointsDataFrame or SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object integrated with fit.points, GWR coefficient estimates, y value, predicted values, coefficient standard errors, and t-values in its “data” slot in an object called SDF of the output list.
Converting SDF into sf data.frame
To visualize the fields in SDF, we need to first convert it into an sf data.frame using the code chunk below.
Code
condo_resale.sf.adaptive <- st_as_sf(gwr.adaptive$SDF) %>%
st_transform(crs=3414)Code
condo_resale.sf.adaptive.svy21 <- st_transform(condo_resale.sf.adaptive, 3414)
condo_resale.sf.adaptive.svy21 Code
gwr.adaptive.output <- as.data.frame(gwr.adaptive$SDF)
condo_resale.sf.adaptive <- cbind(condo_resale.res.sf, as.matrix(gwr.adaptive.output))Next, glimpse() is used to display the content of condo_resale.sf.adaptive sf data frame.
