Summary:

Since the publication of the first edition of Geographic Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, new techniques for geographic data warehousing (GDW), spatial data mining, and geovisualization (GVis) have been developed. In addition, there has been a rise in the use of knowledge discovery techniques due to the increasing collection and storage of data on spatiotemporal processes and mobile objects. Incorporating these novel developments, this second edition reflects the current state of the art in the field.

New to the Second Edition

Updated material on geographic knowledge discovery (GKD), GDW research, map cubes, spatial dependency, spatial clustering methods, clustering techniques for trajectory data, the INGENS 2.0 software, and GVis techniques

New Chapter on data quality issues in GKD

New chapter that presents a tree-based partition querying methodology for medoid computation in large spatial databases

New chapter that discusses the use of geographically weighted regression as an exploratory technique

New chapter that gives an integrated approach to multivariate analysis and geovisualization

Five new chapters on knowledge discovery from spatiotemporal and mobile objects databases

In this book, leading geographers, computer scientists, and geographic information scientists show that geographic data mining and knowledge discovery represent an important direction in the development of a new generation of spatial analysis tools for data-rich environments. Exploring various problems and possible solutions, this book will motivate researchers to develop new methods and applications in this emerging field.
