Spatial statistics is a two part course that starts with a review of essential statistical techniques and secondly consists of a concentration on statistical approached use in spatial analysis. Emphasis will be placed on integrating practical examples into course exercises and projects. Basic statistical concepts of exploring data, probability distributions, hypothesis testing, one sample, two sample tests, regression, ANOVA, and model building will be addressed. Geostatistical functions such as interpolation, point pattern analysis, kriging and trend surface analysis will be examined in the second part of the course.
Face to face course delivery will include a mix of theory, discussion, demonstration, and independent study. The use of spreadsheet tools, the statistical language, R, and ArcPro to answer questions will be emphasised.
