Spatial Statistical Methods for Geography

Reviews / Votes

This book provides a lively introduction into spatial statistics. Several test statistics are presented and discussed from a traditional statistical point of departure. I can recommend the book in particular to quantitative geographers interested in spatial statistics. -- Alfred Stein "Rogerson's book is a cost-effective, comprehensive, and yet easy-to-understand overview of spatial concepts and techniques for students at the undergraduate and graduate levels." p32



"From the reviewer's perspective, this is an excellent technique with which to teach geography statistics for in-class and assignment-based contexts." p32



"This book is important in the field of spatial statistics with a comprehensive discussion of a broad selection of commonly to less commonly employed spatial statistical tests. The detailed by hand and programmed examples that directly address the goals of the book would enable students to repeat the tests with the supplied data and then apply the techniques and thinking to their own data." 34 -- Christopher Hewitt
