SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"An introductory text for the next generation of geospatial analysts and data scientists, Spatial Analysis: Statistics, Visualization, and Computational Methods focuses on the fundamentals of spatial analysis using traditional, contemporary, and computational methods. Outlining both non-spatial and spatial statistical concepts, the authors present practical applications of geospatial data tools, techniques, and strategies in geographic studies. They offer a problem-based learning (PBL) approach to spatial analysis--containing hands-on problem-set that can be worked out in MS Excel or ArcGIS--as well as detailed illustrations and numerous case studies"--Back cover
