June 2012

1 June. Newcastle University

Spatial Analysis
Fee: £275 Maps are great for conveying information but managers want quantitative results which they can be confident in. By learning how to analyse your data using spatial statistics and geospatial methods, you can quantify the geographical patterns and trends found. This course will introduce some of the methods used by a modern GIS, firstly introducing the concepts in a non mathematical manner, then moving on to the practical application through a number of realistic exercises. Audience: For those who would like to analyse data and provide quantitative results. This course would suit those who have completed an intermediate GIS course. Goals • Learn what spatial distributions are and how they can be used • Find out how to calculate spatial densities • Discover what the global spatial correlation is and how it can be used • How the local spatial correlation is calculated and used For more information and how to book please refer to our website:
