Spatial Regression Models
- Michael D. Ward
- Kristian Skrede Gleditsch - University of Essex, UK
Quantitative Methods in Geography | Regression & Correlation | Sociological Research Methods
Using social science examples based on real data, the authors illustrate the concepts discussed, and show how to obtain and interpret relevant results. The examples are presented along with the relevant code to replicate all the analysis using the R package for statistical computing. Users can download both the data and computer code to work through all the examples found in the text. New to the Second Edition is a chapter on mapping as data exploration and its role in the research process, updates to all chapters based on substantive and methodological work, as well as software updates, and information on estimation of time-series, cross-sectional spatial models.
