Data Analysis and Statistics for Geography, Environmental Science, and Engineering

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This practical, classroom-tested textbook helps readers learn quantitative methodology, including how to implement advanced analysis methods using an open-source software platform. Based on the author's many years of teaching undergraduate and graduate students in several countries, the book brings together principles of statistics and probability, multivariate analysis, and spatial analysis methods applied to a variety of geographical and environmental models. Theory is accompanied by practical hands-on computer exercises, progressing from easy to difficult. The text also presents a review of mathematical methods, making the book self-contained.
