It is quite common in cross-sectional convergence analyses that data exhibit spatial dependence. Within the literature adopting distribution dynamics approach, authors typically opt for prefiltering. We follow an alternative route and propose a procedure based on estimate of mean function conditional density which we develop two-stage non-parametric estimator allows dependence estimated via spl...

During recent years, oak decline has been widely spread across Brant’s oak (Quercus Brantii Lindl.) stands in the Zagros Mountains, Western Iran, which caused large-area forest dieback in several sites. Mapping the intensity and spatial distribution of forest dieback is essential for developing management and control strategies. This study evaluated a range of geostatistical and interpolation m...

in recent years, the studies of location play a key role in success and stability of economic activities. location studies are under consideration in both national and international levels. meanwhile, identification of goals and methods of solving location problems have significant importance. the purpose of this paper is to examine spatial distribution of economic activities in 14 zones of esf...

continuous soil quality evaluation in is necessary agricultural regions to sustainable soil management and profitable agricultural production. the objectives of this study were comprised of an evaluation of soil quality utilizing integrated quality index (iqi) along with its spatial distribution in qazvin province. iqi was calculated and its spatial changes analyzed using different interpolatio...

The aim of this study was modelling the spatial distribution ofLilium ledebourii (Baker) Boiss. based on ecological characteristics, in order to predict potential habitats for conservation of a rare plant. Knowledge of the spatial distributions of rare and threatened species and the underlying ecological factors plays an important role in regional conservation assessments and development planni...
