Spatial data analysis theory and practice

Spatial data are data about the world where both the attribute of interest, and its location on the earth are recorded. Are there geographic clusters of disease cases, or hotspots of crime, for example? This comprehensive overview explains all for students and researchers in geography, social science and environmental science.

  • "Introdução a temas de análise dados referenciados espacializados, modelos paramétricos para variação espacial, coleta de dados espaciais e análise preliminar e modelagem de dados espaciais."
  • "Within both the social and environmental sciences, much of the data collected is within a spatial context and requires statistical analysis for interpretation. The purpose of this book is to describe current methods for the analysis of spatial data. Methods described include data description, map interpolation, and exploratory and explanatory analyses. The book also examines spatial referencing, and methods for detecting problems, assessing their seriousness and taking appropriate action are discussed. This is an important text for any discipline requiring a broad overview of current theoretical and applied work for the analysis of spatial data sets. It will be of particular use to research workers and final year undergraduates in the fields of geography, environmental sciences and social sciences."

  • "Spatial Data Analysis: Theory and Practice provides a broad ranging treatment of the field of spatial data analysis. It begins with an overview of spatial data analysis and the importance of location (place, context and space) in scientific and policy related research. Covering fundamental problems concerning how attributes in geographical space are represented to the latest methods of exploratory spatial data analysis and spatial modeling, it is designed to take the reader through the key areas that underpin the analysis of spatial data, providing a platform from which to view and critically appreciate many of the key areas of the field. Parts of the text are accessible to undergraduate and master's level students, but it also contains sufficient challenging material that it will be of interest to geographers, social and economic scientists, environmental scientists and statisticians, whose research takes them into the area of spatial analysis."
