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

This Handbook summarizes, explains, and demonstrates the nature of current models, methods, and techniques for the analysis of spatial data. The book is designed to be a desk reference for all researchers just getting into the field of spatial data analysis as well as for seasoned spatial analysts. The volume features contributions from the very best scholars in the field. Their explanations are able to communicate the fundamental ideas of their subject area succinctly and accessibly. The Handbook begins by exploring the available softwarefor spatial analysis and then describes briefly but clearly the many techniques embodied in the fields of exploratory spatial data analysis, spatial statistics, geostatistics, and spatial econometrics. In addition, attention is givento the methods used for the analysis of remotely sensed data. Finally, a number of example sections are included that demonstrate the application of spatial analysis in the economic, environmental, and health sciences. First comprehensive survey of most of the methods of spatial science Well written and understandable Features the very best scholars in the field Electronic supplementarymaterial INDICE: Part A: GI Software Tools.- Part B: Spatial Statistics and Geostatistics.- Part C: Spatial Econometrics.- Part D: The Analysis of Remotely Sensed Data.- Part E: Applications in Economic Sciences.- Part F: Applications in Environmental Sciences.- Part G: Applications in Health Sciences.- The chaptersin Part D to Part G represent in many ways an application of models, methods,and techniques discussed in the preceding chapters.
