About this ebook
Spatial Autocorrelation: A Fundamental Property of Geospatial Sciences is an in-depth guide to understanding a crucial aspect of spatial analysis. The book begins with theories and clear definitions, laying a solid foundation for the reader. Through detailed explanations and practical examples, it delves into the concept and theory of spatial autocorrelation, illustrating the significance of spatial patterns in scientific research. The book includes comprehensive case studies that highlight the impact of spatial patterns on research and suggests innovative techniques for future studies. Additionally, it offers practical methodologies for quantifying spatial autocorrelation, complete with step-by-step guidance and real-world applications.This makes it an essential resource for graduate students, researchers, and professionals, providing them with the necessary tools to effectively apply spatial analysis in various fields. - Explores a fundamental, geospatial concept through a blend of multidisciplinary topics - Provides an educational focus on spatial autocorrelation in a conceptually-friendly manner - Offers a progressive, iterative layout spanning basic to advanced concepts - Emphasizes novel and benchmark empirical examples and simulation experiments - Covers in-depth spatial autocorrelation in various disciplines
