Summary, Etc. Note: |
Summary: Sparked by the growing interest in statistical methods for the analysis of spatially referenced data in the field of public health, this book fills the need for an introductory, application-oriented text on this timely subject. Written for practicing public health researchers as well as graduate students in related fields, the text provides a thorough introduction to basic concepts and methods in applied spatial statistics as well as a detailed treatment of some of the more recent methods in spatial statistics useful for public health studies that have not been previously covered elsewhere. |
