APLICACIÓN DEL ANÁLISIS FACTORIAL PARA DISCRIMINAR ESPACIALMENTE VARIABLES GEOGRAFICAS by Arnobio Germán Poblete, Juan Leonidas Minetti, María José Vera

“…With the application of this methodology, eight domains with spatial uniformity were identified in the variability of the mean annual precipitation, from the same number of factors, which explain 61% of the variance. The criterion adopted in the definitive retention of these eight factors is that they follow a pattern of territorial homogeneity, since they condense with enough spatial discrimination the information contained in the ninety-five original variables.…”
