Opis

This book shows how to analyze spatial and spatial-temporal data. It focuses on key datasets and data analysis, using the open source software WinBUGS, R, and GeoDa. It examines a range of different spatial and spatial-temporal data modeling situations encountered in the social and economic sciences. It helps the reader understand the modeling decisions that were made in the course of the research, undertake data analysis, and interpret results. The book is organized around topics rather than statistical theory.
