This course provides information on the following: spatial statistics, methods, and interpretation; spatial data, collection methods, and resources; and GIS techniques to map and analyze spatial data. Using a popular PC-based desktop mapping software program and statistical package, students learn how to navigate through spatial data, identify data issues, statistically analyze spatial data, map the data, and interpret results from these analyses. Topics include descriptive spatial statistics, hypothesis testing, interpolation, clustering, and spatial regression. Several application areas, such as demographic analysis and facility planning, are used in sample exercises and ethical considerations, such as masking, are discussed.
