EL TRATAMIENTO INFORMÁTICO DE LA INFORMACIÓN GEOGRÁFICA.

The book is the result of the experience developed by the author in various PhD courses offered by the Department of Geography at the UNED. After a brief incursion into the analysis of geographic databases and further statistical processing, a number of spatial problems are presented that can be solved from an inductive approach to knowledge. The methodological techniques and procedures outlined here are complemented with the empirical treatment of information by means of various computing tools leading to the practical resolution. The originality of the work lies in the combination of three widely distributed software programmes in the current scientific landscape: Statgraphics (statistical software package), ArcGIS (GIS) and Excel (spreadsheet), and the coordinated use of all three in order to solve some problems of interest in which geographical research is involved at present
