Handbook of applied spatial analysis: software tools, methods and applications

摘要

Anyone who has worked in the field of spatial analysis over the last quarter century or so cannot fail to have become acquainted with the work of Manfred Fischer and Art Getis, whether at the coal face of inferential spatial statistics or through their various insightful reviews of the state of the art. This volume presents an impressive consolidation of the field at the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century and an evangelical call to further interdisciplinary outreach. All of the established sub-fields of spatial analysis are represented here - exploratory spatial data analysis, spatial statistics and spatial economet-rics - while the book also contains themed sections that consider software tools (Part A), remotely sensed data issues (Part E) and application areas (Parts E through G).
