This is firstly due to geographic information systems, followed by the availability of large amounts of georeferenced data - both on the Internet and through the use of connected objects. In addition, the rise in performance of computational methods for the simulation and exploration of dynamic models has facilitated advancement. Geographical Modeling presents previously unpublished information on the main advances achieved by these new approaches. Each of the six chapters builds a bibliographic review and precisely describes the methods used, highlighting their advantages and discussing their interpretations. They are all illustrated by many examples. The book also explains with clarity the theoretical foundations of geographical analysis, the delicate operations of model selection, and the applications of fractals and scaling laws. These applications include gaining knowledge of the morphology of cities and the organization of urban transport, and finding new methods of building and exploring simulation models and visualizations of data and results. 542 |fCopyright © 2020 by John Wiley & Sons|g2020 550 Made available through: Safari, an O'Reilly Media Company. 588 0 Online resource; Title from title page (viewed April 28, 2020). 590 O'Reilly|bO'Reilly Online Learning: Academic/Public Library Edition 710 2 O'Reilly for Higher Education (Firm),|edistributor. 710 2 Safari, an O'Reilly Media Company. 856 40 |uhttps://ezproxy.naperville-lib.org/login?url=https:// learning.oreilly.com/library/view/~/9781786304902/?ar |aAvailable on O'Reilly for Public Libraries 994 92|bJFN
