<![CDATA[The determination of whether rural areas are considered poor or no are usually based on the average cost per capita with a global analysis that needs independent observations and the results are applied to all villages. But it is very likely that poverty would be influenced by space and neighboring areas, so the data between observations are rarely independent. One of the statistical analysis that encounters this spatial problem is Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR), which gives different weights to each geographical observation. In this paper, the weighting used for the GWR model is kernel bi-square, with its bandwidth values respectively. Optimal bandwidth can be obtained by minimizing the value of cross validation coefficient (CV). The results showed that the GWR model is more effective than the regression to analyze the data on average expenditure per capita in Jember.]]>
