The formalism handles in a natural way regional variables of numerical or categorical nature, spatial weights, and other matrix-like quantities such as geographical distances and adjacencies. It also permits to revisit and broaden classical themes, in particular factorial visualization, discriminant analysis and regional aggregation. In particular, spatial autocorrelation can be measured and tested in a nonparametric way by invariant orthogonal integration. The versatility of this kernel formalism is illustrated by considering four feature kernels and ten spatial kernels reflecting the spatial configuration of the 369 Swiss federal votes from 1971 to 2023 on the\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <jats:alternatives>\n                        <jats:tex-math>$$n=2132$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n                        <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                          <mml:mrow>\n                            <mml:mi>n<\/mml:mi>\n                            <mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo>\n                            <mml:mn>2132<\/mml:mn>\n                          <\/mml:mrow>\n                        <\/mml:math>\n                      <\/jats:alternatives>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    municipalities.
