Spatial Statistics for the Social Sciences

Texte du rabat

Spatial statistics is a specialised field of research, concepts and methods directed towards addressing problems inherent to the statistical treatment of spatial data.. This book is directed towards an audience of social and political scientists, much broader than the scientific community specialized in spatial statistics and spatial econometrics. As such, it will be written in a language appropriate for non-experts, requiring only a basic knowledge of statistics and a minimum familiarity with mathematical formalism.
