Abstract

Bayesian modelling averaging (BMA) allows the results of analysing competing data models to be combined, and the relative plausibility of the models to be assessed. Here, the potential to apply this approach to spatial statistical models is considered, using an example of spatially varying coefficient modelling applied to data from the 2016 UK referendum on leaving the EU.
