Assignment for 11/13:
1. Read the following:
Haining,
Robert, 1990. Ch. 1, "Introduction," p. 3-11 in Spatial
Data Analysis in the Social and Environmental Sciences.
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
Fotheringham,
A.S., Brunsdon, C., and Charlton, M., 2000. Table of
Contents, Preface, and Ch. 1, "Establishing the
Boundaries," p. vii - 14 in Quantitative Geography,
Perspectives on Spatial Data Analysis. London: Sage
Publications.
2. If you have not had a
introductory statistics course (or don't remember it very well),
also read:
Blalock,
H. M., Jr., 1972. Ch. 1, "Introduction: Purposes and
Limitations of Statistics," p. 3-8 in Social Statistics,
2nd ed. New York: McGraw-Hill Pub.
All of these readings
are on reserve in Condon 108. In addition, Quantitative
Geography, Perspectives on Spatial Data Analysis is on reserve
in AAA Library (for LA 4/515), and I have asked to have Spatial
Data Analysis in the Social and Environmental Sciences placed
on reserve in the Knight Library.
3. From articles or chapters you
have found this term for your bibliography, research question
development, or any Geog 620 assignment, select two pieces that
use some form of quantitative analysis. The two articles
should use different types of quantitative analysis.
Using the readings for this class session, write a brief
explanation (1 paragraph) of the quantitative analysis methods
that these two pieces use. Be sure to refer to
dictionaries if you encounter terms that you did not understand.
Class meeting: Discussion led by Pat Bartlein
and Pat McDowell Bring your written paragraphs, and the
articles themselves if possible, to class for use in our
discussion. |
