Peer Review #1 of "A comparison of least squares regression and geographically weighted regression modeling of West Nile virus risk based on environmental parameters (v0.1)"
Abstract:Background. The primary aim of the study reported here was to determine the effectiveness of utilizing local spatial variations in environmental data to uncover the statistical relationships between West Nile Virus (WNV) risk and environmental factors. Because least squares regression methods do not account for spatial autocorrelation and non-stationarity of the type of spatial data analyzed for studies that explore the relationship between WNV and environmental determinants, we hypothesized that a geographica… Show more
