It covers a wide range of topics including 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 examines real problems with real data from the geographical literature in order to illustrate the important role that statistics play in geographical investigations. Presented in a clear and accessible manner the book includes recent, relevant examples, designed to enhance the reader’s understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Dealing with data 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 The role of statistics in geography 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 About this book 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 Data and measurement error 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Collecting and summarizing data 13\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 Sampling methods 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2 Graphicalsummaries 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3 Summarizing data numerically 24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Probability and sampling distributions 37\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.1 Probability 37\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.2 Probability and the normal distribution: z]scores 39\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.3 Sampling distributions and the central limit theorem 43\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Estimating parameters with confidence intervals 49\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.1 Confidence intervals on the mean of a normal distribution: the basics 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.2 Confidence intervals in practice: the t]distribution 50\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.3 Sample size 53\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.4 Confidence intervals for a proportion 53\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 Comparing datasets 55\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.1 Hypothesis testing with one sample: general principles 55\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.2 Comparing means from small samples: one]sample t]test 61\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.3 Comparing proportions for one sample 63\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.4 Comparing two samples 64\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.5 Non]parametric hypothesis testing 75\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 Comparing distributions: the Chi]squared test 81\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.1 Chi]squared test with one sample 81\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.2 Chi]squared test for two samples 84\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e7 Analysis of variance 89\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.1 Oneway analysis of variance 90\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.2 Assumptions and diagnostics 99\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.3 Multiple comparison tests after analysis of variance 101\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.4 Non]parametric methods in the analysis of variance 105\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.5 Summary and further applications 106\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e8 Correlation 109\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.1 Correlation analysis 109\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.2 Pearson’s product]moment correlation coefficient 110\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.3 Significance tests of correlation coefficient 112\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.4 Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient 114\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.5 Correlation and causality 116\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e9 Linear regression 121\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9.1 Least]squares linear regression 121\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9.2 Scatter plots 122\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9.3 Choosing the line of best fit: the ‘least]squares’procedure 124\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9.4 Analysis of residuals 128\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9.5 Assumptions and caveats with regression 130\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9.6 Is the regression significant?
