Spatial Regression Analysis Using Eigenvector Spatial Filtering - by Daniel Griffith & Yongwan Chun & Bin Li (Paperback)

About the Book "Spatial Regression Analysis Using Eigenvector Spatial Filtering provides both theoretical foundations and guidance on practical implementation for the eigenvector spatial filtering (ESF) technique. ESF is a novel and powerful spatial statistical methodology that allows spatial scientists to account for spatial autocorrelation in georeferenced data analyses. With its flexible structure, ESF can be easily applied to generalized linear regression models. The book discusses ESF specifications for various intermediate-level topics, including spatially varying coefficients models, (non) linear mixed models, local spatial autocorrelation, and spatial interaction models. In addition, it provides a tutorial for ESF model specification and interfaces, including author developed, user-friendly software"-- Book Synopsis Spatial Regression Analysis Using Eigenvector Spatial Filtering provides theoretical foundations and guides practical implementation of the Moran eigenvector spatial filtering (MESF) technique. MESF is a novel and powerful spatial statistical methodology that allows spatial scientists to account for spatial autocorrelation in their georeferenced data analyses. Its appeal is in its simplicity, yet its implementation drawbacks include serious complexities associated with constructing an eigenvector spatial filter. This book discusses MESF specifications for various intermediate-level topics, including spatially varying coefficients models, (non) linear mixed models, local spatial autocorrelation, space-time models, and spatial interaction models. Spatial Regression Analysis Using Eigenvector Spatial Filtering is accompanied by sample R codes and a Windows application with illustrative datasets so that readers can replicate the examples in the book and apply the methodology to their own application projects. It also includes a Foreword by Pierre Legendre. Reviews the uses of ESF across linear regression, generalized linear regression, spatial autocorrelation measurement, and spatially varying coefficient models Includes computer code and template datasets for further modeling Provides comprehensive coverage of related concepts in spatial data analysis and spatial statistics

Review Quotes

"Provides an overview of traditional linear multivariate statistics applied to geospatial data, with an emphasis on SA, its data analytic impacts, and its representation by eigenvector spatial filters. " --Journal of Economic Literature
