The ESRI Guide to GIS Analysis, Volume 2: Spatial Measurements and Statistics (The Esri Guide to GIS Analysis, 4)

Excellent, simple, reference book for GIS analysis. If you are a beginner with GIS analysis this book is ideal, at the same time, if you use more advanced methods, but are not constantly using the technology you will definitely want this as a reference. When in doubt with more complicated methodology, go back to the basics with this book. I lost it and got it again, this is how useful I think it is.

This is a great set of books and a must have for any GIS Professional. They break down the complicated processes of spatial analysis to a more basic and easier to understand level.

Very easy to read and understand the covered concepts. It's light on the statistical jargon, so only a basic understanding of statistics is required.

It is an OK reference book, but I often end up google searching stuff that I know I've read because it is hard to find again with the format of the book. Index does an OK job, but not very specific.Professor switched to this book for our class and seems to still reference the other book she's previously used more than she does this one, so perhaps not a complete book of analysis techniques.

Good book for school.

It is a very nice book which helps for those that teach and learn GIS and statistic. I have got it as my expectation and interest.

This book is great if you want to learn spatial analysis and statistical methods. Very clear, concise, with images and examples.

This is exactly what I want. Useful.Thx!

A good reference book to give you an idea of scope but it does not give you a nuts and bolts description as to how to use ARC. There is a good array of statistical techniques that can be used with ARC for spatial analysis which can be used to achieve the objectives described. Details of these techniques are outside the scope of the book but there is sufficient to appreciate the scope of the work in hand.

Complete with chapters that cover various spatial statistics tools and geostatistics, I bought this book as a reference text for a GIS course. It has walkthroughs of a variety of different tools that are provided in ArcGIS' Spatial Statistics tools and Geostatistical Analyst toolbox, listing off all the required parameters and how the tools perform their functions. The diagrams are coloured and help the reader along with the rest of the material (which may get old really quickly).Good book to have on hand when dealing with the Geostatistical Analyst and Spatial Statistics toolsets as it explains in depth the formulas and equations of how these tools are performed.

Bon livre ludique et plutot bien expliqué (en ANGLAIS attention!) mais manquant principalement (ce qui restait la principale raison de mon achat) la description de l'utilisation de chaque outil geostatistique que l'on peut trouver dans ArcToolBox.Par contre, ce livre est truffé d'exemples variés ce qui le rend applicable directement à un certain nombre de domaines (principalement dans la gestion et le developpement du territoire et la santé publique) pour les interessés. Livre egalement très complet du point de vue theorique, mais le nombre de methodes de geostat vous obligera a lire plus d'une fois ce bouquin si vous voulez en memoriser la majorité (a moins que vous ayez une grosse memoire d'elephant!)Resultat donc plutot mitigé pour ce guide, que je ne recommenderai pas forcément d'acheter.
