Matlab软件在计量地理学实验教学中的应用

Application of Matlab software in experiment teachingof quantitative geography

Matlab是MathWorks公司推出的一款商业软件,具有强大的数值计算功能,在计量地理学实验教学中具有巨大的应用潜力.介绍了利用Matlab实现计量地理学上机实践所需的编程基础,并以课程中的多元回归分析为例,基于Matlab拟合工具箱、regress函数以及直接矩阵运算方法给出了详细的实现过程.Matlab软件在计量地理学实践中的应用有助于本科生深入理解课本中介绍的理论方法,为进一步利用Matlab进行地理数据综合处理分析奠定了基础.

Matlab is a commercial software developed by MathWorks company.It has powerful numerical calculation function and great application potential in the teaching practice of quantitative geography.Introduces the programming basis for the teaching practice of quantitative geography by using MATLAB,and takes the multiple regression analysis in the course as an example,gives the detailed implementation process based on Matlab curve fitting toolbox,express function and direct matrix operation method.The application of Matlab software in the practice of quantitative geography is helpful for the undergraduates to understand the theory and method introduced in the book,and lay a foundation for further comprehensive processing and analysis of geographic data by using Matlab.
