The other spatial matrices of geographic, trade and capital channels do not affect the significance of the cultural channel, and only trade and geographic weight matrices significantly affect international housing price co-movements, whereas the FDI weight matrix does not significantly affect international housing market linkages.
The results show that some factors such as the trade weight matrix, geographic weight matrix, population density and long-term interest rate underwent significant structural changes after the subprime crisis of 2008, whilst the culture and FDI weight matrices did not show significant time structural change.
The geographic weight files were created using Contiguity-Based GeographiCriterion (Rook Criterion).
Using these food availability data, we generated updated food consumption estimates for the thirteen regions defined by the 2006 geographic diet clusters by weighting each country's data with its relative population size and deriving weighted average consumption levels for each geographic diet cluster.
The variables in each of the indexes were relevant, however use of flexible sized catchments to accurately account for population births and weighting for extreme geographic isolation needs to be considered.
Using geographic re-weighting to correct for different penetration rates can help ([H5]).
To ensure the representativeness of this sample, we employed a diverse range of purposive, theoretical and strategic sampling methods [ 29, 30] to recruit participants who were representative of a broad range of socio-cultural, demographic, geographic and weight groups within the obesity range, allowing us to explore the findings in the context of socio-cultural risk communication literature.
Population weighting thus transforms the geographic space into population space.
Seroprevalence of pH1N1 antibodies was calculated as the percentage with antibody titres≥40, after weighting for age, sex and geographic region.
27 Another study that analysed geographic variation in HPV vaccine uptake used a weighting scheme to account for dependence between study participants, but ignored the spatial dependence of respondents in neighbouring geographic regions.
