SPRINGERBRIEFS IN REGIONAL SCIENCE SPATIAL DA...

The availability of spatial databases and widespread use of geographic information systems has
stimulated increasing interest in the analysis and modelling of spatial data. Spatial data
analysis focuses on detecting patterns  and on exploring and modelling relationships between
them in order to understand the processes responsible for their emergence. In this way  the
role of space is emphasised   and our understanding of the working and representation of space
spatial patterns  and processes is enhanced. In applied research  the recognition of the
spatial dimension often yields different and more meaningful results and helps to avoid
erroneous conclusions. This book aims to provide an introduction into spatial data analysis to
graduates interested in applied statistical research. The text has been structured from a
data-driven rather than a theory-based perspective  and focuses on those models  methods and
techniques which are both accessible and of practical use for graduate students. Exploratory
techniques as well as more formal model-based approaches are presented  and both area data and
origin-destination flow data are considered.
