In the real world, there are numerous and various events that occuron and alongside networks, including the occurrence of trafficaccidents on highways, the location of stores alongside roads, theincidence of crime on streets and the contamination along rivers.In order to carry out analyses of those events, the researcherneeds to be familiar with a range of specific techniques. SpatialAnalysis Along Networks provides a practical guide to the necessarystatistical techniques and their computational implementation.
Each chapter illustrates a specific technique, from StochasticPoint Processes on a Network and Network Voronoi Diagrams, toNetwork K-function and Point Density Estimation Methods, and theNetwork Huff Model. The authors also discuss and illustrate theundertaking of the statistical tests described in a GeographicalInformation System (GIS) environment as well as demonstrating theuser-friendly free software package SANET.
Spatial Analysis Along Networks:
* Presents a much-needed practical guide to statistical spatialanalysis of events on and alongside a network, in a logical,user-friendly order.
* Introduces the preliminary methods involved, before detailingthe advanced, computational methods, enabling the readers acomplete understanding of the advanced topics.
* Dedicates a separate chapter to each of the major techniquesinvolved.
* Demonstrates the practicalities of undertaking the testsdescribed in the book, using a GIS.
* Is supported by a supplementary website, providing readers witha link to the free software package SANET, so they can execute thestatistical methods described in the book.
Students and researchers studying spatial statistics, spatialanalysis, geography, GIS, OR, traffic accident analysis,criminology, retail marketing, facility management and ecology willbenefit from this book.
