Geospatial Analysis (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Geographical analysis is an approach to applying statistical analysis and other informational techniques to geographically based data. Such analysis employs spatial software and analytical methods with terrestrial or geographic datasets, including geographic information systems and geomatics. Geographical information systems use geospatial analysis in a variety of contexts. Use of the word geospatial in place of Geographical Analysis is incorrect.Geospatial analysis, using GIS, was developed for problems in the environmental and life sciences, in particular ecology, geology and epidemiology. It has extended to almost all industries including defense, intelligence, utilities, Natural Resources, social sciences, medicine and Public Safety. Spatial statistics typically result primarily from observation rather than experimentation.
