Hi,

Someone could tell me how to cite the 'spgwr' package in a scientific paper ?

The command : citation ("pkgname") returns a warning message.

Thanks in advance !

I see:
To cite package 'spgwr' in publications use:

   Roger Bivand and Danlin Yu (2008). spgwr: Geographically weighted
   regression. R package version 0.5-4.
...
ATTENTION: This citation information has been auto-generated from the
package DESCRIPTION file and may need manual editing, see
'help("citation")' .
Is the "ATTENTION: ..." your warning? There are no publications about it 
as such, though it is mentioned in several (in particular in several of 
Danlin's papers) in the course of use. I'll leave it up to readers of the 
Bivand/Pebesma/G?mez-Rubio R-spatial book to see whether the section in 
Ch. 10 might serve, it is pretty short, and the book is slowly starting 
to reach people. The standard citation as above is reasonable, because it 
reflects the actual work put into the package itself.

Indeed, in a recently publish paper in Environment and Planning B, I 
cited the package as following:

Bivand R,Yu D L, 2005, "SPGWR - an R package for geographically weighted 
regression'',
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group id=84357&package 
id=120594

Another one in a recently submitted paper cite the package as:

Bivand R, Yu D (2007) SPGWR: Geographically weighted regression. 
Available online at:
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/r-release/spgwr_0.4-6.zip 
(Accessed June 17,
2008)

The link and time surely need update, but I hope this would help.

Best,
Danlin
