Modelling Spatial Processes The Identification and Analysis of Spatial Relationships in Regression Residuals by Means of Moran’s I

A novel methodology is put forward in this book, which empowers researchers to investigate and identify potential spatial processes among a set of regions. Spatial processes and their underlying functional spatial relationships are commonly observed in the geosciences and related disciplines. Exampl...
