Geographic Information Analysis, Second Edition is fully
updated to keep pace with the most recent developments of spatial
analysis in a geographic information systems (GIS) environment.
Still focusing on the universal aspects of this science, this
revised edition includes new coverage on geovisualization and
mapping as well as recent developments using local statistics.
Building on the fundamentals, this book explores such key
concepts as spatial processes, point patterns, and autocorrelation
in area data, as well as in continuous fields. Also addressed are
methods for combining maps and performing computationally intensive
analysis. New chapters tackle mapping, geovisualization, and local
statistics, including the Moran Scatterplot and Geographically
Weighted Regression (GWR). An appendix provides a primer on linear
algebra using matrices.
Complete with chapter objectives, summaries, "thought
exercises," explanatory diagrams, and a chapter-by-chapter
bibliography, Geographic Information Analysis is a practical
book for students, as well as a valuable resource for researchers
and professionals in the industry.
