Spatial analysis from Oxford Bibliographies Online by Call Number: Electronic resourceISBN: 9780199874002Spatial analysis refers to a process that relies upon both exploratory and confirmatory techniques to answer important questions and enhance decision making with spatial data. This includes approaches to identify patterns and processes, detect outliers and anomalies, test hypotheses and theories, and generate spatial data and knowledge. Data qualify as “spatial” when their location is known and it has the potential to impact the outcome of an analysis. ...

- Spatial Analysis and Modelling Specialty Group of the AAGTheir mission is to foster and maintain interaction, cooperation and community among individuals interested in the analysis of geo-referenced data, modeling of spatio-temporal processes, and the use of analytical and computational techniques in solving geographic problems.
Introduction
A geographical analysis which seeks to explain patterns of human behaviour and their spatial expression in terms of mathematics and geometry

In the Library's collection
Spatial analysis as a subject term is not used in the online catalog. Instead, spatial analysis (statistics) is used. The term "statistics" is used to qualify or narrow the scope of the term. From the online catalog, you will find a over 70 resources that have to do with spatial analysis (statistics). Some of these volumes are more technical in nature and concentrate more on the mathematics involved in spatial analysis.
Most of these books are located in G 70.2 through G 70.4 in the Berry Level 4.
The following are just some of the books in the Library's collection.

The SAGE handbook of spatial analysis by Call Number: Baker-Berry Cook G 70.3 .S23 2009ISBN: 9781412910828The widespread use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) has significantly increased the demand for knowledge about spatial analytical techniques across a range of disciplines. As growing numbers of researchers realise they are dealing with spatial data, the demand for specialised statistical and mathematical methods designed to deal with spatial data is undergoing a rapid increase. Responding to this demand, The Handbook of Spatial Analysis is a comprehensive and authoritative discussion of issues and techniques in the field of Spatial Data Analysis.
