Fogos activos do sensor ATSR 2 e sua relação com variáveis demográficas, ambientais e infra-estruturais usando os métodos de regressão global e geograficamente ponderada para o Brasil

Abstract

In this study it was analysed the correlation between the active fire ATSR products and environmental, demographic an infraestrure variables for the Brazilian territory. It was compared the Ordinary Least Square regression (OLS) and the Geographic Weighted Regression (GWR) methods. This last method allows the analysis of regression considering spatially non-stationary variables. The best adjustment of the ATSR active fires was found with the GWR method when it was considered the agricultural area classification and distance to roads variables.
