The standard model that is used for count data is Poisson Regression. In fact, most of the count data is overdispersed, which means that the response variable has greater variance than the mean. So the Poisson Regression cannot be used because overdispersion can cause inaccurate parameter estimators. One of the most widely used methods to overcome overdispersion is Negative Binomial Regression. If there are spatial effects such as spatial heterogeneity that are taken into Negative Binomial model, the appropriate method to analyze is Geographically Weighted Negative Binomial Regression (GWNBR). A spatial weighting matrix is required in the GWNBR model. In this study, three weighting functions were used, that is Adaptive Gaussian Kernel, Adaptive Bisquare Kernel, and Adaptive Tricube Kernel. From the three weighting functions, a model will be formed and the best model will be selected based on the smallest AIC. Count data used in this study is maternal deaths during childbirth in West Java Province, which is the highest case in Indonesia. The results of the analysis show that based on the smallest AIC, the best modeling in maternal deaths during childbirth in West Java is the GWNBR model using the Adaptive Gaussian Kernel weight. The results of the best model were obtained from three groups based on the predictor variables that had a significant effect.

Discrete data on the response variable can be analyzed using poisson regression. The assumption of equidispersion in poisson regression must be fulfilled, but in practice there are many problems of overdispersion. The negative binomial regression model is used to overcome the problem of overdispersion, but this model is global while in some cases each location has different characteristics. Therefore, a method that considers the effects of spatial heterogeneity is needed. If the response variable is discrete data that is overdispersed and includes spatial effects, a model called Geographically Weighted Negative Binomial Regression (GWNBR) is developed. The GWNBR method can be applied in the health sector, such as in stunting. The prevalence of stunting in Malang Regency is still quite high, there is 25.7%. By conducting the GWNBR test, 385 models were obtained, one of them is Tulungrejo Village with factors influencing the incidence of stunting, namely access to permanent healthy latrines, access to posyandu, exclusive breastfeeding, population density and community empowerment. From three weights used, namely the Adaptive Gaussian Kernel, Adaptive Bisquare Kernel and Adaptive Tricube Kernel, the best model was obtained from the Adaptive Bisquare Kernel weighting with the smallest AIC is -211.3763.
