Linking COPD Prevalence with Income Distribution: A Spatial Heterogeneous Compositional Regression via Geographically Weighted Penalized Approach
收入分布与COPD患病率的空间异质成分回归:地理加权惩罚方法
Income inequality is a major contributor to health disparities, yet its effects often vary by geography and are commonly represented as compositional distributions (e.g., proportions of households across income brackets). Existing spatial regression methods struggle in this setting: they typically assume smooth spatial variation, cannot accommodate abrupt spatial heterogeneity, and lack principled treatment of compositional covariates. We propose a geographically weighted…
