Track: Statistical Analysis
Authors: Lisa Florkowski

Information and communications technologies (ICT), such as the Internet, have become increasingly important in society; however, access to these technologies has been unequal across socioeconomic and demographic groups. Spatial statistical methods, including k-means and local Moran’s I clustering analyses, ordinary least squares regression analysis, and geographically weighted regression analysis, were used to analyze spatial patterns of Internet usage in US counties.
