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 fi eld of spatial investigations. 000932804 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000932804 650_0 $$aEconomic development$$zIndia$$vCase studies. 000932804 7001_ $$aChatterjee, Soumendu. 000932804 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMishra, Mukunda$$tContouring Human Development : Methods and Applications Using an Indian District As Case Study$$dSingapore : Springer,c2020$$z9789811540820 000932804 852__ $$bebk 000932804 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-15-4083-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000932804 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:932804$$pGLOBAL_SET 000932804 980__ $$aEBOOK 000932804 980__ $$aBIB 000932804 982__ $$aEbook 000932804 983__ $$aOnline 000932804 994__ $$a92$$bISE
