Spatial data analysis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spatial data analysis is a quantitative approach to geographical analysis that applies rigorous statistical techniques to geographic data, to ultimately analyze why phenomena occurs in particular places, and what dynamic factors are key. Spatial data analysis goes beyond the basic analytical capabilities available in Geographic Information Systems, with separate tools providing extended ability to use techniques including spatial regression and geographically-weighted regression (GWR).
