  • A framework for statistical inferential decisions in spatial pattern analysis

    Open AccessFerenc Csillag, Barry BootsARTICLECanadian Geographies /…2005Cited by: 1References: 13

    The desire of many geographical information science (GIS) practitioners to undertake sophisticated spatial pattern analysis has been facilitated by the increasing availability of specialised software and the appearance of pedagogic papers illustrating the application of various techniques. However, the appropriate use of these techniques also requires an understanding of the nature of hypothesis testing and statistical inference for spatial data.…

  • Spatial choice modelling: New opportunities to incorporate space into substitution patterns

    Open AccessLen M Hunt, Barry Boots et al.ARTICLEProgress in Human Geography2004Cited by: 6References: 2

    This paper is designed to review recent developments in choice modelling that offer promise for studying spatial choices. In particular, we focus on the ability of general choice models to account for a richer pattern of spatial substitution than afforded by early choice models. We argue that the generality offered by these choice models is sufficient to rethink the current view that spatial choice is a distinct field of inquiry. Our conclusion i…

  • A Variance-Stabilizing Coding Scheme for Spatial Link Matrices

    Open AccessMichael Tiefelsdorf, D A Griffiths et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning A…1999Cited by: 9References: 18

    In spatial statistics and spatial econometrics two coding schemes are used predominately. Except for some initial work, the properties of both coding schemes have not been investigated systematically. In this paper we do so for significant spatial processes specified as either a simulta-neous autoregressive or a moving average process. Results show that the C-coding scheme emphasizes spatial objects with relatively large numbers of connections, s…

  • The Exact Distribution of Moran's I

    Open AccessMichael Tiefelsdorf, Barry BootsARTICLEEnvironment and Planning A…1995Cited by: 20References: 17

    In analogy to the exact distribution of the Durbin-Watson d statistic for serial autocorrelation of regression residuals, the exact small sample distribution of Moran's I statistic (or alternatively Geary's c) can be derived. Use of algebraic results by Koerts and Abrahamse and theoretical results by Imhof, allows the authors to determine by numerical integration the exact distribution function of Moran's I for normally distributed variables. For…

  • Population density, crowding and human behaviour

    Open AccessB N Boots, Barry BootsARTICLEProgress in Human Geography1979Cited by: 4References: 17

    The author reviews the existing literature on density and crowding from a geographical perspective, with a focus on the concerns of urban geographers. Several types of empirical studies are described and reviewed, and research on models of crowding is outlined

  • Structural Inference in Transportation Networks

    Open AccessCharles S Tapiero, Barry BootsARTICLEEnvironment and Planning A…1974References: 9

    Using elements of both statistical inference and graph theory, this paper demonstrates how some properties of a complete network can be inferred by observing parts of it. The approach is considered especially beneficial when cost, time, or other constraints prohibit the collection of complete information on the network under consideration
