Resources to support Regression Analysis in ArcGIS

SteveCline

Is anyone aware of any books or other publications to support using the regression analysis tools in ArcGIS?  I have completed the Regression Analysis Using ArcGIS module on the Virtual Campus and I am looking for more supporting documentation.

Thanks for your help.

from the link Darren provided which contains one of my posts, there is link to

esri's spatial stats blog which contains useful resources done by esri...

Spatial Statistics Resources | ArcGIS Blog

there are a few other considerations in that link as well.

I hate to dump you into the pit, but there are esri publications and other resources here

Then there are the classic texts, such as " Principles of Geographical Information Systems" by any incarnation of Burrough et al (Oxford press)

With regards to any particular tool, check at the very bottom of the tool and see if they have a reference list...having said this they tend to be a bit thin on that side of things, but sometimes, they are noted if there is any algorithmic suggestions.

Esri tools are ... shall we say... thin on non-parametric statistical tests, for example, regression, so one is obliged to ensure that the fundamental requirements for the test are met or the data can be transformed so that those requirements are met.

If you have some specifics and/or a description of what it is you are going to be looking at, I could discuss further from a data or analytical perspective since I have seen many projects over my teaching years and there may be insights that are unique from that perspective.

You should also be forewarned, that many problems that people have with using the tools lie in poor file management...so brush up on those before you begin any meaningful trial runs.  I would also suggest that you take a look a ArcGIS PRO since it gives you access to SciPy and there are some access points to R use within ArcGIS that will broaden your arsenal and analytic capabilities.

Keep us posted.

PS

my arsenal of academic texts are in my office and I can't think of anything offhand that is superior, names will bubble to the surface, if you come across any that you want opinions on, put them out and I will see if I can provide an 'opinion' but what suits me may not suit you
