Die Verwendung von Wahrscheinlichkeits-verteilungen in der Geographie. (L'application des distributions de probabilité en géographie)

Auteur :
SCHMIDT, G.

Description :
Starting from a general characterization of the theoretical probability-distributions first of all the discrete distributions are dealt with. The continuous distributions will follow in a further article. In the first part of this paper the function of probability and distribution is demonstrated. The author chooses the probability-distribution as an example for the number of conveyances to a centre. In the following the characteristics (moments) of the discrete probability-distribution are explained. Some special probability-distributions can be used in geography, these are the zero-one-distribution, the binomial distribution and the Poisson distribution. The author gives some examples for the application of these. The Poisson distribution is recommended especially for the economic geography.
