Statistical Techniques in Geographical Analysis Book

This book is a guide to elementary and multivariate statistics and aims to cover the undergraduate geographers' needs in statistical methods from their first to final year.

The arrangement of material extends from simple to multivariate statistics, as well as including items on elementary maths used in the text and a discussion of data sources in geography.
