Statistics for Spatial Data, Revised Edition
Description
Reviews / Votes
"This is the second edition of the leading text on the characterization and analysis of data collected at different points of space. It was written as the text for a course, but it also serves as an encyclopedic guide to the subject. It is aimed primarily at scientists and engineers. The author sees his task as "taking the diverse and uneven literature on spatial statistics and extending it, correcting it and unifying it"." (Mathematical Association of America 2016)More details
