Edward Rothman and Danielle Gwinn
This one-day session will provide a
complete introduction to the principles and
methods of spatial statistics using ArcGIS,
a leading software package for working with
geospatial data, and Geoda, a free software
program designed to implement techniques
for exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA)
on geographic data (points and polygons)
. Participants will learn how to use
spatial statistics tools included with
ArcGIS 9 and Geoda to explore and measure
spatial processes, distributions, and
relationships. Topics and demonstrations
include spatial statistical theories and
techniques such as spatial autocorrelation,
interpolation, geostatistics, measuring
geographic distributions, cluster and hot
spot analysis and spatial regression. The
workshop includes lectures, demonstrations,
and hands-on exercises using the spatial
statistics tools with the latest ArcGIS and
Geoda software packages.
