Spatial Data Analysis

open access: yesAnnual Review of Public Health, 2016
With increasing accessibility to geographic information systems (GIS) software, statisticians and data analysts routinely encounter scientific data sets with geocoded locations. This has generated considerable interest in statistical modeling for location-referenced spatial data. In public health, spatial data routinely arise as aggregates over regions,

Predicting future landslides for risk analysis - spatial models and cross-validation of their results

open access: yes, 2008
A landslide-hazard map is intended to show the location of future slope instability. Most spatial models of the hazard lack reliability tests of the procedures and predictions for estimating the probabilities of future landslides, thus precluding use of ...

Spatial Analysis, Critical

open access: yes, 2009
This article describes attempts that cross-fertilize spatial science and critical geographies and challenge the analytical/quantitative versus critical/qualitative distinction existing across human geography. The article is organized on the basis of criticisms of positivist quantitative geography; it discusses both (early) attempts to articulate the ...

Understanding the Role of Optimized Land Use/Land Cover Components in Mitigating Summertime Intra-Surface Urban Heat Island Effect: A Study on Downtown Shanghai, China

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
In this study, 167 land parcels of downtown Shanghai, China, were used to investigate the relationship between parcel-level land use/land cover (LULC) components and associated summertime intra-surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect, and further analyze
