Geographic Information Science
Geographic information science is the academic theory behind the development, use, and application of geographic information systems. It is concerned with people, hardware, software, and geospatial data. GISc addresses fundamental issues raised by the use of GIS and related information technologies. Three central issues of GISc are the modifiable areal unit problem, complete spatial randomness and spatial autocorrelation. GISc is relevant to researchers from many scientific disciplines because these three central issues are often ignored in the application of statistical hypothesis testing. GISc argues that both Bayesian and Traditional statistical inference should consider spatial structure of the data being analyzed. Complete spatial randomness is also referred to as global spatial homogeneity. And spatial autocorrelation is also referred to as global spatial heterogeneity. ... more
