Implementing the Local Spatial Statistical Method in ArcView GIS Author: Tin Seong Kam 469 Bukit Timah Road Phone: 65-4605187 Since the early 1990s local statistical methods have been specially developed to analyze the "spatial" aspects of geographical data stored in GIS. These include local Moran, local Geary, Gi, and G*i. Most of the earlier developments tend to adopt the one-directional approach of integration, in which data from a GIS is transferred to a statistical analysis system for analysis, and the results then transferred back to the GIS for mapping. This paper presents a close coupling approach of integrating local spatial statistical methods in the ArcView GIS environment using Avenue, an object-oriented macro programming language. |
