Riassunto

"The First Edition of Statistical Methods for Geography provided an excellent introduction to the statistical analysis of spatial data. The second edition is even better - providing more material on probability and on descriptive statistics as well as more exercises. I would recommend this strongly as a text for introductory statistics courses in geography. It is currently the best on the market by far."
- A. Stewart Fotheringham, National University of Ireland, Maynooth

The Second Edition of this bestselling text has been completely revised and updated. It provides a systematic introduction to the principal methods and techniques that students must understand to complete a statistics course.

Features new to this edition include:

• More introductory material especially in a new chapter on descriptive statistics, and much-expanded introductory chapters
• More exercises and illustrative examples within the chapters
• SPSS for Windows and EXCEL used to illustrate the applied use of the methods
• A companion Web site for lecturers and students is available at www.sagepub.co.uk/rogerson. The password-protected lecturer section contains answers to questions from the book. There are also downloadable-datasets and study skills for students.

L'autore

I am Professor of Geography and Biostatistics at the University at Buffalo. My research interests are in the area of demography and population change, epidemiology, spatial statistics, and spatial analysis. My current work is focused upon the development of new methods for the quick detection of newly emergent clusters in geographic data (for example, how does one determine as quickly as possible whether there is a new cluster of crime or disease?).
