Geographical Data Analysis

This excellent textbook consists of three objectives: to explain basic statistical techniques and demonstrate their application to quantitative geography, to equip students with the essential knowledge and skills for executing research projects and to make the connection between statistical analysis and substantive topics taught as part of a geography course. Features an innovative project-based approach which uses exemplar projects drawn from human and physical geography to epitomize both primary and secondary methods for collecting geographical data with the computer-based application of a wide range of statistical techniques.
