Definition(s)

  • Geographically distributed phenomena over a one-, twoor three-dimensional metric space can be concentrated in some subset of discrete points, be collected into mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive areal unit aggregates, or be continuous. A surface formed by one of these phenomena, such as a population density map, usually is too irregular to be described analytically by simple, smooth mathematical functions.
