TL;DR
The focus here is on three of the themes of the workshop: the mutual benefits of closer links between geographical information systems and the methods of spatial data analysis (SDA); the specific areas of SDA that should be linked with GIS; how the linkage should be made in practice.
Abstract
Abstract This article is an agreed summary of a workshop held in Sheffield between 18-20 March 1991. The focus here is on three of the themes of the workshop: the mutual benefits of closer links between geographical information systems (GIS) and the methods of spatial data analysis (SDA); the specific areas of SDA that should be linked with GIS; how the linkage should be made in practice. Directions for future research are also reviewed. The emphasis throughout is on statistical SDA and principally from the perspective of human rather than physical geography.

This framework is used to provide clarification of how varying data models, as well as their inherent advantages and disadvantages, are interrelated, and provides an insight into how these conflicting demands may be balanced in a more systematic and predictable manner for practical applications.

In this review a modified version of the Orchard and Woodbury missing-information principle receives the greatest emphasis because it combines classical statistical theory with trend surface and spatial autoregressive models.
