ABSTRACT The magnitudes of simple regression and correlation parameters may be merely a function the sizes numbers areal units into which study area is divided. weighting data, suggested solution to this problem, effective only: 1) when values for are aggregated equal 2) any changes in summary strictly proportional. In stochastic approach problem differences same differently subdivided hypothesized as chance occurrences. Four sets examples presented. When each four areas changed by dividing them different units, resulting
