The discriminant function correctly classifies 77 per cent of the metropolitan areas considered. Presence of a medical school, regional location, and SMSA popula…

Two aspects are treated: 1. graphic and analytical techniques for presentation and analysis of areally distributed data, and 2. implications of these distributions for medical care utilization and planning. A three-dimensional analogue model is introduced which provides accurate visual representation and allows limited …
