Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a new class of heterogeneous spatial autoregressive models (heterogeneous SAR models) where the variance parameters are modeled in terms of covariates. In order to estimate the model parameters, as well as their corresponding standard error estimates, we proposed a computational efficient MCMC method which combines the Gibbs sampler with Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. The proposed estimate method is illustrated through numerous simulations and is applied to the Boston housing data.
