Spatial Data Science
Description
Spatial Data Science will show GIS scientists and practitioners how to add and use new analytical methods from data science in their existing GIS platforms. By explaining how the spatial domain can provide many of the building blocks, it's critical for transforming data into information, knowledge, and solutions.
This book is for those using or studying GIS and the computer scientists, engineers, statisticians, and information and library scientists leading the development and deployment of data science.
