It is impossible to capture HD at the local and global scale with only a single index, because differences in HD at the international scale are caused by ?general? factors, whereas local-scale differences are influenced by ?specific? factors. This book offers a variety of methods for scientifically mapping HD at any spatial scale. It covers how to rationally select variables; how to test the models; how to validate the results, and how to analyze them. For this purpose, it employs a case study on an Indian district. The socio-economic factors regulating the patterns of HD are now more complex than they were only a few decades ago, making it essential to incorporate newer models in order to successfully ?replicate? the real-world situation. Accordingly, the book offers essential methodological tools & techniques for mapping HD. It sheds new light on a handful of statistical multivariate analysis and machine learning algorithms that are rarely used in the social sciences when dealing with HD, yet have sound mathematical and statistical bases. These techniques can be successfully used for predictive analysis in the earth & natural sciences, decision sciences and management disciplines, and are equally effective in terms of capturing, predicting and projecting the composite HD ?landscape.? This book will especially benefit two groups of readers: firstly, HD practitioners who want to find out ?why some areas are doing better than others? by exploring the complex interactions of spatially linked variables with different HD parameters. And secondly, practitioners in other branches of the social sciences who are not concerned with HD but are looking for ?hands-on training? with techniques they can apply in their respective field of spatial investigations. . 606 $aRegional economics 606 $aSpace in economics 606 $aEconomic geography 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aApplied sociology 606 $aRegional/Spatial Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49000 606 $aEconomic Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aRegional Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913050 606 $aSocial/Human Development Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X38000 615 0$aRegional economics. 615 0$aSpace in economics. 615 0$aEconomic geography. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aApplied sociology. 615 14$aRegional/Spatial Science. 615 24$aEconomic Geography. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aRegional Development. 615 24$aSocial/Human Development Studies. 676 $a330.954 700 $aMishra$b Mukunda$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0931544 702 $aChatterjee$b Soumendu$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910409666803321 996 $aContouring Human Development$92095503 997 $aUNINA
