This study examines spatial statistics, focusing on accurate distance calculations on Earth. It investigates the impact of using planar metrics for spatial modeling, offering insights for statisticians working with geographic data.

Area of Science:

  • Spatial Statistics
  • Geomathematics
  • Geospatial Analysis

Background:

  • Spatial data analysis requires accurate computation of distances on Earth's surface.
  • Euclidean or planar metrics are often preferred for their interpretability and software availability, despite challenges with spherical data.
  • The impact of distance computation methods on statistical estimation and prediction remains underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore various options for computing distances using planar metrics in spatial statistics.
  • To investigate the influence of these planar metrics on spatial modeling outcomes.
  • To address the gap in understanding the importance of distance computation in statistical estimation and prediction.

Main Methods:

  • Exploration of different planar metrics for distance calculation in spatial contexts.
