Esri Releases Updated Guide to Analytic Algorithms and Methods

REDLANDS, Calif. — Esri, the global leader in location intelligence, today announced the publication of The Esri Guide to GIS Analysis, Volume 2: Spatial Measurements and Statistics, second edition.

Trying to draw conclusions from a map isn’t always easy. How maps classify and symbolize features and values can obscure the information, and people see patterns and relationships everywhere—sometimes when they don’t actually exist.

According to Esri software development lead Lauren Bennett, “Spatial analysis has never been as important as it is today. As GIS analysts and spatial data scientists, we will play a crucial role in making our world more equitable and sustainable.”

Sharing concrete examples that everyone can relate to, The Esri Guide to GIS Analysis, Volume 2 is essential to understanding spatial algorithms and methods, helping practitioners think critically about their results, evaluate them objectively, and ensure responsible analysis.

Building on Volume 1, this new book demonstrates how spatial statistical tools can be applied in a range of disciplines, from public health to habitat conservation. Readers will learn how to quantify patterns beyond visualizing them in maps, as well as examine spatial clusters through an updated chapter on identifying these clusters.

This book is essential reading for anyone tasked with revealing the complex spatial patterns and relationships underlying the complex workings of our world.

The Esri Guide to GIS Analysis, Volume 2: Spatial Measurements and Statistics, second edition, is available in print (ISBN: 9781589486089, 288 pages, US$49.99) and as an e-book (ISBN: 9781589486096, US$49.99). Both editions can be obtained from most online retailers worldwide. The print edition is also available for purchase at esri.com/esripress or by calling 1-800-447-9778. If outside the United States, visit esri.com/esripressorders for complete ordering options, or visit esri.com/distributors to contact your local Esri distributor.
