摘要:The book Spatial Analysis and Geocomputation highlights a new computational-intensive paradigm, that of geocomputation, which is able to contribute to a radical change of the current research practice in spatial analysis. It is based on the latest developments in estimation theory, model selection and testing: from the very beginning is underlined the aim of providing new insights into neural networks, as advanced tools for non-parametrical modelling and spatial interaction modelling. Accordingly, the book is structured into four parts, which address the proposed topic gradually, from the spatial analysis and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to computational intelligence in spatial data analysis, geocomputation in remote sensing environments and, finally, to new frontiers in neural spatial interaction modelling.
