Zusammenfassung:"Quantitative Geography is an overview of the use of quantitative methods in spatial data analysis. It focuses on the philosophy informing spatial analysis and demonstrates the significant differences between modern quantitative methods and the methods associated with Geography's "Quantitative Revolution" in the sixties." "The text integrates a discussion of the application of quantitative methods with practical examples, and explains the philosophy of the new quantitative methodologies. Comprising a discussion of specific techniques, Quantitative Geography critically examines the profound difference in the use of those techniques since the Quantitative Revolution." "Quantitative Geography is for students and researchers in any discipline where quantitative methods are used to analyze spatial data."--BOOK JACKET.
