It covers a wide range of topics including uncertainty analysis, graphical and numerical description of datasets, probability, calculation of confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, collection and analysis of data using analysis of variance and linear regression. Taking a clear and logical approach, this book examines real problems with real data from the geographical literature in order to illustrate the important role that statistics plays in geographical investigations and to enhance the reader's understanding of theory. Presented in a clear and accessible manner the book includes recent, relevant examples, call-out boxes, end-of-chapter reviews and diagrams all designed to enhance student understanding. This book will help students to develop a basic grounding in the quantitative techniques that will provide the foundation for their future research. It therefore explains the stages clearly and logically and makes ample use of diagrams and examples. The book will be clearly structured throughout and will build the confidence of students along with their skills"--
