<P> Spatial analysis or spatial statistics includes any of the formal techniques which study entities using their topological , geometric , or geographic properties . Spatial analysis includes a variety of techniques , many still in their early development , using different analytic approaches and applied in fields as diverse as astronomy , with its studies of the placement of galaxies in the cosmos , to chip fabrication engineering , with its use of `` place and route '' algorithms to build complex wiring structures . In a more restricted sense , spatial analysis is the technique applied to structures at the human scale , most notably in the analysis of geographic data . </P>
