Spatial And Spatial Analysis - 1565 Words

In addition to the endogeneity problem, researchers need to consider a spatial spillover effect when using spatial data. Generally, it is expected that neighboring areas have a stronger interaction than geographically distant areas. However, it is likely that unobserved household and neighborhood characteristics are shared over geographically adjacent neighborhoods, which can cause a spatial autocorrelation problem. Though spatially correlated errors do not result in biased estimates, these errors can produce inefficient estimates and biased standard errors (Anselin, 1988). The spatial econometric technique allows for an examination of the role played by spatial effects and geographical spillovers by considering the spatial characteristics of neighborhood data. In this study, spatial dependence is presented based on a contiguity-based binary weight matrix. To diagnose the existence of spatial dependence in model residuals, we use Moran’s I statistics for residuals, Lagrange multiplier (LM) tests for the lag dependence and error dependence, and robust LM tests for the lag dependence and error dependence with the fixed effect model. According to Anselin and Rey (1991), Moran’s I is commonly used for detecting spatial dependence, but it cannot determine what type of spatial dependences (e.g. spatial lag dependence or spatial error dependence) exists in regression residuals. Therefore, it cannot provide information on which model is appropriate in explaining the spatialShow MoreRelatedGeographic Information Science And Systems1738 Words   |  7 Pagesbe an extremely powerful tool when properly applied to real world situations. GIS is commonly thought of as map making because it deals with spatial analysis, but data can be manage d and manipulated to create a vast array of different outputs including charts and graphs. There are several software programs capable of dealing with GIS synthesis and analysis. The focus of this paper applies to use of ArcMap 10.1 GIS software for data management and output creation. GIS can provide several key benefits:Read MoreEvaluation Of Hedonic Price Model1607 Words   |  7 Pages4. Methodology 4.1. Analytical Framework (Generalized Spatial Two-Stage Least Square: GS2SLS) Hedonic price model has been developed and widely used to identify the factors explaining housing prices (Malpezzi, 2003). In this study, we deal with additional two statistical issues such as endogeneity between land use and housing price and spatial autocorrelation between housing prices. First, endogeneity should be carefully accounted for when measuring the effect of land use on housing prices becauseRead MoreA Brief Note On Diabetes Prevalence Rate And Socioeconomic And Life Style Variables962 Words   |  4 PagesWeighted Regression (GWR) that assumes the effect of all the explanatory variables vary over the geographical space. In reality, the effect of some of the variables may be fixed (global) and other variables vary spatially (local). For this type of data analysis, Mixed Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) can include global and local variables in the same model is the best alternative (Fotheringham et al., 2003). We propose using MGWR model to study the associatio n between diabetes prevalence rate andRead MoreData Processing And Comprehensive Geological Interpretation Of Geochemical Exploration809 Words   |  4 Pagesused spatial analysis methods are of two types: (analysis of global trends and analysis of trends locally). The advantage of data processing is manifested mainly in two aspects: Either to study the spatial variation of the contents of regional geochemical elements or to study the spatial distribution of the elements and the trend of the concentration of the element as a representative of the area of geochemical anomalies. There are several geostatic methods such as multivariate design analysis, andRead MoreApplication of Gis in Natural Resourse Management10836 Words   |  44 Pagesand is subject to a variety of errors of different types and sources (Ononiwu, 2002). Therefore, there is an urgent need for alternative technologies to collect relevant, reliable and accurate spatial natural resource data and build intergraded spa tial databases that should provide a basis for the analysis of diverse environmental problems. In this thesis, the application of Geographic information systems GIS and remote sensing data is suggested as a potential means in dealing with this complexityRead MoreUse Of Spatial Correlation Approach Towards The Analysis And Subsequent957 Words   |  4 PagesThe aim of this chapter is to provide analysis of the quantitative data collected during the scope of this investigation.

These two methods are applied for damage and loss assessment with the help of field information. Field data is also used for the validation of these methods. Sentinel 1A C-band SAR polarimetry has proven useful for flood monitoring (ESA, 2013; Yesou et al., 2013; Twele et al., 2016; Clement et al., 2017; IuristRead MoreThe Homeless Distribution Is Tested Using Spatial- Auto Correlation Analysis Essay1749 Words   |  7 PagesThe homeless distribution was tested using spatial- auto correlation analysis (SACA). Near analysis was used to calculate the average distance between the homeless individuals and the closest feeding service and shelters in each of the six San Diego County regions. Furthermore, the ratio of total number of homeless individual per bed was calculated to determine whether or not there is an adequate supply of beds.
