Statistical techniques and procedures are applied in all fields of academic research; wherever data are collected and summarized or wherever any numerical information is analyzed or research is conducted, statistics are needed for sound analysis and interpretation of results.
Geographers use statistics in numerous ways:
- To describe and summarize spatial data.
- To make generalizations concerning complex spatial patterns.
- To estimate the probability of outcomes for an event at a given location.
- To use samples of geographic data to infer characteristics for a larger set of geographic data (population).
- To determine if the magnitude or frequency of some phenomenon differs from one location to another.
- To learn whether an actual spatial pattern matches some expected pattern.
