MORTALITY AMONG YOUNG NICARAGUAN IMMIGRANTS TO COSTA RICA: AN APPLICATION OF GEOGRAPHICALLY WEIGHTED STATISTICAL REGRESSION

This paper applies a geographically weighted statistical regression (GWR) model to young Nicaraguan immigrant homicides in Costa Rica during the period 1998-2008 and identifies possible covariates. The pa- rameters for the GWR model are: Yi(g)=β0(g)+β1(g)x1 +β2(g)x2 +...+βk(g)xk +ε, which may be obt...
