Duque, Juan CarlosRamos Lobo, RaúlSuriñach Caralt, Jordi2015-03-032015-03-0320062014-1254https://hdl.handle.net/2445/63538This paper reviews almost four decades of contributions on the subject of supervised regionalization methods. These methods aggregate a set of areas into a predefined number of spatially contiguous regions while optimizing certain aggregation criteria. The authors present a taxonomic scheme that classifies a wide range of regionalization methods into eight groups, based on the strategy applied for satisfying the spatial contiguity constraint. The paper concludes by providing a qualitative comparison of these groups in terms of a set of certain characteristics, and by suggesting future lines of research for extending and improving these methods.31 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd, (c) Duque et al., 2006http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/RegionalitzacióEconomia regionalCorrelació múltiple (Estadística)RegionalizationRegional economicsMultiple comparisons (Statistics)info:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaper2015-03-03info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
