An accessible and up-to-date introduction to the application of statistical analysis, Statistical Analysis of Geographical Data covers a wide range of topics, including uncertainty analysis, graphical and numerical description of datasets, probability, calculation of confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, collection and analysis of data using analysis of variance and linear regression. Taking a clear and logical approach, this book for geography students enhances the reader's understanding of theory by examining real problems with real data from the geographical literature that illustrate the important role statistics plays in geographical investigations.
