Abstract
Digital map data lends itself to computerized statistical analysis much like any other computer-readable data file. Comparative data analysis is possible when two files are present and linkages can be established between some of the feature records of the two files. Modern digital map files contain various measures of spatial relations, including adjacency relations, network patterns, and measures of position and distance. This paper examines those measures and their interactions and proposes some statistical tools for automating feature matching procedure.
