Abstract
Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) is a local modelling technique to estimate regression models with
spatially varying relationships. Generally, the Euclidean distance is the default metric for calibrating a GWR model in
previous research and applications; however, it may not always be the most reasonable choice due to a partition by
some natural or man-made features. Thus, we attempt to use a non-Euclidean distance metric in GWR. In this study, a
GWR model is established to explore spatially varying relationships between house price and floor area with sampled
house prices in London. To calibrate this GWR model, network distance is adopted. Compared with the other results
from calibrations with Euclidean distance or adaptive kernels, the output using network distance with a fixed kernel
makes a significant improvement, and the river Thames has a clear cut-off effect on the parameter estimations.
