Description
'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 module on statistics.
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; downloadable datasets with British and North American examples;
- SPSS for Windows and EXCEL used to illustrate the applied use of the methods.
