Title
Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) Significant Explanatory Variables Raster Maps for Teen Pregnancy Rates, Four-Corner States, 2018
Subject
This shows raster maps and the residual map from running a geographically weighted regression (GWR). This shows the relationship between teen pregnancy rates and our statistically significant explanatory variables.
Description
This shows raster maps and the residual map from running a geographically weighted regression (GWR). This shows the relationship between teen pregnancy rates and our statistically significant explanatory variables -- percent of children living in a household headed by a single parent, rates of attendance to Evangelical congregations, rates of attendance to Latter-day Saint congregations, rates of attendance to Catholic congregations, and percentage of the population who is Hispanic.
From our rates data, we would be led to believe that LDS rates in Utah would correspond with a negative relationship with teen pregnancies; however, our output shows a slight positive correlation. More work needs to be done to accurately understand these results.
