Abstract

Spatial heterogeneity has been investigated extensively. However, in addition to spatial heterogeneity, there are spatial phenomena where heterogeneity in the data generation process exists across quantiles. This study proposes a new method that combines generalized lasso (GL) and conditional quantile regression (CQR) to analyze discrete spatial heterogeneity across quantiles. GL enables the identification of spatial boundaries where the spatial data generation process varies discretely, and CQR estimates the parameters of the conditional quantile of the dependent variable. The proposed method is expressed as a linear programming problem and is simple to use. To validate its effectiveness, we applied this method to apartment rent data in Minato Ward, Tokyo. The results revealed that the neighborhoods where rent levels deviated from the overall trend in the analyzed area differed by quantiles.
