Here, a spatial regression model is calibrated to increase its reliability by specifying a spatial weighting matrix that best captures neighbourhood connectivity, hence the spatial dependence in the observed variables.
IntroductionIntroduction
The method we proposed to achieve this goal involves altering the method used for calculating the distance metrics inherent to the foundation of the spatial weighting matrix in spatial autoregressive models. This alternative approach can reflect overall spatial connectivity more accurately than the traditionally utilized distance metrics.

The purpose is not to mimic the city road network but to select a distance metric that best represents neighbourhood connectivity, which is consequently defined by the interplay of road network and urban design.

FindingsFindings
• Decision making
• When utilizing spatial regression models, alternative distance metrics should not be neglected.
ImportanceImportance
• An investigation of specific urban design and connectivity will aid the interpretation of optimal p value;
• We envisage the extension of this work to include local analyses;
• A procedure to semi-automate the optimal distance metric selection.
