  • What are spatial statistical analysis?

    Subsumes statistical methods to determine the likelihood of spatial processes and patterns
    - evaluates how entities are spatially distributed
    - analyze the relationships between patterns
  • What are fundamental components of these methods?

    Space and spatial arrangement
  • 1.2 Spatial concepts

  • What are the two spatial concepts?

    Spatial autocorrelation
    Spatial hetrogeneity
  • What is spatial autocorrelation (SAC)?

    An obvious fact --> temperature in Utrecht and Amsterdam
    Refelects a situation where values observed at one location depend on the values of neighboring oberservations
    And functional relationships of objects of one variable changes with distance --> known as spatial spillovers
  • What is the First Law of Geography?

    All things are related, but nearby things are more related than distance things
  • What is spatial hetrogeneity?

    Characteristics of a population/sample depends on the absolute location
    Patterns vary over space
    No "average places"
  • Why does space matter? Why is it important to know how a pattern is distributed?

    • Data is not independent
    • Redundancies reduce the data information content
    • Diagnostic tool for statistical models
    • Regression model: t-test, F-test are affected 
    • SAC has serious concequences for non-spatial statistical analysis --> might result in wrong conclusions
  • What is row standardization?

    Each weight is divided by its row sum, rows sum to 1, thus allows comparison between parameters
  • 1.3 Exploratory spatial data analysis

    This is a preview. There are 13 more flashcards available for chapter 1.3

  • What are methods for global statistics?

    Join Count statistic: for nominal data 
    Moran’s I: Interval/ratio data
    Geary’s C: Interval/ ratio data
    Autoregressive models
  • What is the workflow of local/global SAC analysis?

    1. Define the spatial system
    2. Select and compute a statistic
    3. Test the significance
