In the following outline, assume that all examples will come from the epidemiology literature and, wherever possible, within a GIS environment
Spatial Statistics: Mainly, but not exclusively, driven by the nature of geo-referenced data.
The Epidemiologists Interests in Spatial Statistics
The Problems that stand in the way of spatial analysis often become the reason for doing spatial statistics.
