Spatial measurement scale is a persistent issue in spatial analysis; more detail is available at the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP) topic entry. Landscape ecologists developed a series of scale invariant metrics for aspects of ecology that are fractal in nature.[citation needed] In more general terms, no scale independent method of analysis is widely agreed upon for spatial statistics.
