Abstract
In the previous chapters, we studied the association between two georeferenced sequences from a hypothesis testing perspective. In the following three chapters, we focus on some coefficients of spatial association. These coefficients are not simple modifications of the correlation coefficient, but the underlying idea of its construction relies on the properties of the inner product from which the correlation coefficient was designed.
