dc.description.abstractDispersion statistics (the second moment of a distribution) from mathematical physics are adapted to geography for the description and analysis of distributions in a two-dimensional non-Euclidean space (the curved surface of the Earth). The University of Wisconsin System is used as an example. Also, it is again pointed out that the "ellipse of dispersion" is a misleading representation of dispersion statistics and its use should be discontinued.en_US
