Spatial Statistics and Analysis, 1st Edition, offers a comprehensive examination of quantitative spatial methods for undergraduate students, graduate students, researchers, and professionals in geography, public health, engineering, and social sciences. Authored by Anzhelika Antipova and published by Academic Press, this textbook delivers structured material to help learners evaluate spatial structures and apply analytical workflows across interdisciplinary academic programs.

The volume systematically examines spatial methodologies across distinct geographic data types. Readers work through point pattern analysis, areal pattern analysis using global and local statistics, and complex geostatistical analysis. Beyond pattern estimation, the text addresses spatial error and uncertainty while demonstrating practical applications of Markov chains to model dynamic spatial transitions across real-world settings.

To reinforce conceptual understanding and practical technique, each chapter incorporates dedicated review questions and suggested lab activities. This 432-page print edition provides higher education instructors and independent researchers with a complete framework for structured study in spatial analytical methods.
