A Hands-on Case Study in Spatial Analysis and Data Mining
Online information at http://www.innovativegis.com/basis/Books/AnalyzingPAdata/Default.htm
Book Description: Analyzing Precision Ag Data brings together underlying
concepts of map analysis with concise examples and hands-on experience in
analyzing precision agriculture data.
This book will help readers understand the nature of spatial data and
the principles, procedures and considerations used in investigating spatial
relationships. A case study for a single
field is used to clearly illustrate the wealth of emerging analytical
capabilities available to scientists, agronomists, crop consultants and
producers.
