Different types of Spatial Data:-

1. Geo statistical Data :-

• Points as sample locations ("field" data as opposed to "objects")

 •Continuous variation over space 

2. Lattice/ Regional Data :-

• Polygons or points (centroids) 

• Discrete variation over space, observations associated with regular or irregular area I units. 

3. Point patterns :-

• Points on map (occurrences of events at locations in space) 

• Observation of a variable are made at location X 

• Assumption that spatial arrangement is directly related to the interaction between units of observation
