Description

Spatial Analysis Using Big Data: Methods and Urban Applications helps readers understand the most powerful, state-of-the-art spatial econometric methods, focusing particularly on urban research problems. The methods represent a cluster of potentially transformational socio-economic modeling tools that allow researchers to capture real-time and high-resolution information to potentially reveal new socioeconomic dynamics within urban populations. Each method, written by leading exponents of the discipline, uses real-time urban big data to solve research problems in spatial science. Urban applications of these methods are provided in unsurpassed depth, with chapters on surface temperature mapping, view value analysis, community clustering and spatial-social networks, among many others.

Key features

  • Reviews some of the most powerful and challenging modern methods to study big data problems in spatial science
  • Provides computer codes written in R, MATLAB and Python to help implement methods
  • Applies these methods to common problems observed in urban and regional economics

Readership

Graduate and PhD students and other early career researchers who seek to conduct research on urban communities using spatial econometric methods, obviously including spatial statistics and spatial econometrics, but also GIS, computer science, environmental science, and transportation
