quantitative revolution  

Definición

  • Quantitative revolution is the not very felicitous term that arose to describe the partial transformation of geography from a merely descriptive science into one that included the development of a theory of spatial organization and behavior, formal modeling of these processes, and the use of appropriate statistical methods to test the expectations from theory. Participants preferred the term scientific, emphasizing a fundamental shift from an ideographic (descriptive) to a nomothetic (formal theory) epistemology.
