Statistical techniques for dealing with quantitative data are important tools for every geographer. This is the first book to bring the traditional tools of quantitative geography into the GIS environment. Up to this point, existing books have relied on older software not widely found in a geography context. This brand new resource teaches professionals and students alike how to use their software in applying established statistical techniques.

This handbook for applied ArcView brings the theoretical underpinnings of classical statistics into the earth science field. Using points, lines, and polygons to model real-world geographic forms, this guide provides geographers with a bridge between theory and the software that applies it. It contains sections of point distribution, point pattern analysis, linear features, network analysis, and spatial autocorrelation analysis. Approximately 100 illustrations are featured, including statistical charts, maps, and ArcView screen captures. Lee teaches geography at Kent State University. Wong teaches earth sciences at George Mason University. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
