I am happy to announce that we have made Spatial Statistical Data Analysis for GIS Users available as a free download. This is a PDF textbook written by Konstantin Krivoruchko, one of the founding members of Geostatistical Analyst.
This textbook was previously available through Esri Press: "This book presents a practical introduction and guide to spatial statistics for researchers, statisticians, academics, and college students who want to expand their knowledge and skills in geographic information system (GIS) technology to new areas of analysis. More than 1,000 full-color illustrations are included, along with lessons and sample data to help organize courses and lectures."

Download link for datasets used in the book: https://downloads.esri.com/esripress/pdfs/spatial-statistical-data-analysis-for-gis-users.zip
Enjoy!

Is this going to be a long-lived link so we can link to it for our courses?
I presume that would be the preferred method rather than downloading and using it within our own learning management systems.
I think the link will exist indefinitely. If it ever breaks, just post here and we'll try to get it corrected or rehosted.
As far as our preference for referring students to the link versus distributing it yourself, do whatever is easiest for you and your students.
Eric,
Thanks for sharing the book and the datasets. I think I will enjoy this book.
Hello.
Since its a 2011 copy, do we have an updated version of this book too?
This is unfortunately the only edition of the book.
Link seems to be broken!
thanks you
Hi, it seems the download link for the data is broken. Is it possible to have the files by email ? Or maybe can you create a new one? Thank you !
Hi @Alexandra_Br, please try the links again. They were using "http" addresses, and I have updated them to "https". Please let me know if you still have any issues accessing them.
