Description

What is the shortest route between one point and another in a
road network? Where is the incidence of disease the highest? How does rainfall
correlate with altitude? How does the concentration of a pollutant vary in
space, and where do high concentrations correlate with densely populated
areas? Geographical or spatial data play a vital role in many parts of
daily life. We are dependent on information about where things are located and
about the attributes of those things, either directly, as in the use of a map
for navigating around a city, or indirectly, where we use resources like water
or gas. Spatial Data Analysis: An Introduction for GIS Users
introduces students to key principles about spatial data, the methods used to
explore such data, and the kinds of problems that can be tackled using widely
available analytical tools. Taking a gradual, systematic approach, the text
opens with coverage of core concepts; these ideas are illustrated and
reinforced with careful explanations, numerous worked examples, and case
studies throughout the book.Accessible to students who are new to the
field, Spatial Data Analysis focuses on education rather than simple
training; it not only shows students how to apply data analysis tools but also
demonstrates how those tools work. A Companion Website provides resources for
both students and instructors.
