Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis Using Stata

In this talk, I will present the basic principles of exploratory spatial data analysis and their application using Stata. After a brief discussion of the specific features of spatial data, I will show some freely-available user-written Stata commands (spmap, spgrid, spkde, spatwmat, spatgsa, spatcorr, spatlsa) that help to carry out some exploratory analyses of real-world spatial data.
