Course Catalog Description:
Applied/theoretical aspects of geographical quantitative methods for spatial analysis. Emphasizes analysis of geographical data for spatial problem solving in human/physical areas.
Class Description:

"Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things", the First Law of Geography proposed by Waldo Tobler implies the complex yet fascinating nature of the geospatial world. Spatial analysis in order to understand geographic numbers is becoming increasingly necessary to support knowledge discovery and decision-making. The objective of this course is to teach the fundamental theory and quantitative methods within the scope of geospatial analysis. The course starts with basic statistics, matrix, the background of spatial analysis, and exploratory spatial data analysis. Then, we will dive into the special nature of our spatial world, with fundamental geographic ideas and theories being introduced. The focus will be on numerical methods and models including descriptive statistics, pattern analysis, interpolation, and regression models. Finally, some advanced topics regarding spatial complexities and spatial networks will be introduced to arouse further interest in this realm. To sum, this is an introductory course that makes use of quantitative analytics such as linear algebra, statistics, and econometrics for spatial data analysis.

By taking this course you will:
  • quantitatively understand critical concepts behind geospatial processes, such as scale, spatial weights, spatial autocorrelation, spatial dependence, spatial pattern.
  • learn key methods of analyzing spatial data: e.g., point pattern analysis, spatial autocorrelation statistics, spatial prediction, and spatial regression.
  • examine the lectured methods/models with data from geographic scenarios using Python and related programming packages.
(Prereq: high-school algebra; Basic stats and linear algebra recommended)

Class Notes:
Taught by new assistant professor Martin Swobodzinski.
Class Description:
The fundamental objective of this course is to teach the appropriate uses of basic quantitative methods for the description and analysis of spatial and non-spatial data that are typical in geographic inquiry. The first several weeks of the class deal with the nature of data, descriptive statistics, and data exploration techniques. We will then transition into the fundamental concepts of statistical data analysis: distributions, probability, and sampling. Subsequently, the final third of the course introduces several different methods of analyzing data of different kinds and inferring information and conclusions about the population using your samples. In all cases, the spatial nature of data and its analysis will be emphasized. Foremost, this is an introductory course in statistics that makes use of geographic problem scenarios rather than a course on spatial statistics using georeferenced data. INSTRUCTOR: Martin Swobodzinski
