Geographically Weighted Panel Regression Modeling on Human Development Index in West Sumatera

Abstract

The Human Development Index (HDI) is an important issue that has a negative impact on the field of human development and people's welfare in West Sumatra Province. The HDI is being attempted to be solved by identifying the contributing components. Geographically Weighted Panel Regression (GWPR) is a technique that can be used to find influencing factors and explain the influence of characteristic areas of observation. GWPR is a combination of panel data regression method with GWR which is used when the data has the influence of spatial heterogeneity. The purpose of this study is to form a GWPR model that will be applied to the HDI in Regencies/Cities in West Sumatera from 2019 to 2022. Modeling using GWPR Fixed Effect Model. With a minimum CV of 0,000208, the wighter function utilized is a fixed exponential kernel. The findings demonstrated that the model obtained had an of 99.9%, meaning the predictor variable could account for the model by this percentage. Variables that have a significant on HDI are Life Expectancy, Expected Years of Schooling, Mean Years of Schooling, and Purchasing Power Parity.
