ABSTRACT
Statistics plays an important role in describing the sample data and exploring the behavior of population behavior from sample data. The traditional statistical methods have been developed keeping in view describing the behavior of univariate data sample. To incorporate the behavior of spatial data and geometric data which are inherently univariate or multivariate in nature, a set of tools has been developed under the aegis of spatial statistics or geostatistics. In this chapter we discuss the spatial statistical methods and their usage. The standard statistical tools useful for describing the behavior of univariate data sample are discussed.
