Abstract The main aim of this paper is to provide a spatial modelling framework for income estimation through the application of a contemporary spatial analysis technique. The application refers to the modelling of mean recorded household income in the area covered by the postcodes of the...

In this study we use geographic information systems (GIS) and computational intelligence for geomarketing analysis. GIS technology offers a powerful set of tools for the input, management, and output of data, whereas computational intelligence is used for the analysis and the clustering of...

This paper presents a methodology for the creation of homogeneous demographic regions with geographical information systems (GIS) and computational intelligence. The proposed method is unsupervised fuzzy classification performed by neural networks using the fuzzy Kohonen algorithm. GIS...

Cultural events such as festivals are emerging worldwide as a dynamic sector of the tourism and leisure industries with significant economic, social, cultural and political impacts on the destination area. Their economic importance stems from the expenditure of the attendants that filters...

In recent years, there has been a growing application of advanced methods and techniques such as geographical information systems (GIS), remote sensing and spatial analysis methods in research aimed at understanding, analyzing and visualizing environmental risks. Areas of interest are...

Deaths due to neoplasms and diseases of the circulatory and the respiratory system represent 80% of all deaths in Greece. In the context of dearth of statistical analysis of spatial patterns of cause-specific mortality in Greece, this paper aims at studying the distribution and structure of...

The aim of this paper is to define and test local versions of standard correlation coefficients in statistical analysis. This research is motivated by the increasing number of applications using local versions of explanatory spatial data analysis methods such as local regression. Local...

This paper reports the results of an extensive project to model interregional migration within England and Wales. The project took place over a two-year period and was sponsored by the UK Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (formerly the Department of Transport, Local Government and the...

The aim of this paper is to define and test local versions of standard correlation coefficients in statistical analysis. This research is motivated by the increasing number of applications using local versions of exploratory and explanatory spatial data analysis methods. A common example of the...
