Local Models for Spatial Analysis

Written in recognition of developments in spatial data analysis that focused on differences between places, the first edition of Local Models for Spatial Analysis broke new ground with its focus on local modelling methods. Reflecting the continued growth and increased interest in this area, the second edition describes a wide range of methods which account for local variations in geographical properties.

What''s new in the Second Edition:

• Additional material on geographically-weighted statistics and local regression approaches



• A better overview of local models with reference to recent critical reviews about the subject area



• Expanded coverage of individual methods and connections between them



• Chapters have been restructured to clarify the distinction between global and local methods



• A new section in each chapter references key studies
