Readers learn the requirements and limitations of each geospatial modeling and mapping tool. Case studies with real-life examples illustrate important applications of the models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics covered in this book include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn overview of the geospatial information sciences and technology and spatial statistics \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eSampling methods and applications, including probability sampling and nonrandom sampling, and issues to consider in sampling and plot design \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eFine and coarse scale variability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpatial sampling schemes and spatial pattern\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eLinear and spatial correlation statistics, including Moran's \u003cem\u003eI\u003c\/em\u003e, Geary's \u003cem\u003eC\u003c\/em\u003e, cross-correlation statistics, and inverse distance weighting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eGeospatial statistics analysis using stepwise regression, ordinary least squares (OLS), variogram, kriging, spatial auto-regression, binary classification trees, cokriging, and geospatial models for presence and absence data \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to use R statistical software to work on statistical analyses and case studies, and to develop a geospatial statistical model \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mohammed A.
