2 The Methodology of the Study
19
factor was explained on the basis of the associations of the elements extracted from
the correlation matrix. The statistical analysis was performed using the MINITAB
17 software package. Arc-GIS 10.2 in combination with local deterministic methods
and the inverse distance weighting were used for mapping the spatial distribution of
the elements and the FL isite .
