Beskrivning

Understanding why patterns arise in data helps researchers make credible claims and meaningful interventions, but exploring cause and effect in spatial data is challenging. This book shows how it can be done.Seeing geographic space as a defining feature of data and fundamental to explaining how our world works, the book enables readers to give richer answers to the question, "What difference does something make?". It also:Shows spatial analysis in action, walking through empirical applications in Python and R on real-world and simulated data.Supports readers to apply what they’ve learnt with relevant practical activities in every chapter.Enables critical assessment of findings by turning a spotlight on model evaluation for more robust research.This is the perfect guide for postgraduate students and researchers in the social and environmental sciences encountering causal inference for the first time, or wanting to apply causal methods to spatial data.

Mer om författaren

Levi John Wolf is an Associate Professor in Spatial Analysis at the University of Bristol. He completed his PhD research on electoral boundary drawing at Arizona State University in Geography in 2017. His research spans many different areas of application from analyzing segregation in neighborhoods to modeling oceanic plankton distributions, but is underwritten by methodological innovation in spatial analysis, open science, and pedagogy. Before his time in academia, Levi worked in industrial geographic data science at MondialRelay, Inpost.PL, Nextdoor.com and CARTO.Nick Dorward is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Human Geography at the University of Southampton. Prior to joining Southampton, he was a Lecturer and ESRC Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol, where he also completed an ESRC funded PhD in 2022. A quantitative human geographer, his research interests lie at the intersection of political science, global development, and urban studies. The primary focus of his research surrounds the demographic causes and political consequences of urbanisation in low- and middle-income countries. He also works on topics including urban protest mobilisation, urban systems and boundary analysis, and poverty mapping.
