Description

Explains how to implement, interpret, and conduct diagnostics on the results of multivariate techniques. The book focuses on geo-referenced data analysis applications, with explicit diagnostics for the role played by spatial autocorrelation in multivariate analyses. It also aims to establish specific connections between popular spatial analysis and multivariate procedures, and outlines methodology for implementing spatial auto, logistic, and Poisson regressions.
