R functions are typically modularised, and only provide the components 
needed. The tests require the hat matrix. So if you want tests, ask for 
the hat matrix, and run the tests on that object - they are separate 
functions - see help(package=spgwr). With regard to the tests, mileage 
varies a lot, even within the book itself. Really, there are no degrees of 
freedom left for tests, are there? The technique was intended to be 
exploratory.
No mixed version is provided. I guess you could use an offset of the 
product of the variable and global coefficient if you really wanted to. 
But as mentioned above, GWR is not a model, it is a way of exploring 
missing variables and/or inappropriate functional forms.

Hope this helps,
