Course Catalog Description:
Overview of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial analysis/modeling of human/environmental systems. Spatial statistics, modeling spatiotemporal processes, simulation techniques, visualization, complex systems/complexity. Guidance in thesis/dissertation research. prereq: 3511 [or equiv statistics course], [3561 or 5561 or equiv intro GIS course] or instr consent
Class Description:
Overview. Spatial analysis and modeling involves the use of mathematical and computational methods in conjunction with spatial data to explore explore human and environmental systems. This course is a standard seminar focused on readings, a student-led presentations, and a final paper. NOTE: The Fall 2020 offering focuses on urban mobility and accessibility. Topics covered includes the classic transportation planning models, sustainable mobility, trajectory data mining, time geography and space-time accessibility, and recent topics in health and urban environment. The methods to be introduced include optimization, logit model, visual exploratory analysis, spatial data mining, stochastic modeling as well as functions and tools in GIS (using ArcPro).
Learning Objectives:
Get familiar with main-stream models in studying and modeling urban mobility and accessibility as well as state-of-art methods in the field.

Class Description:
Overview. Spatial analysis and modeling involves the use of mathematical and computational methods in conjunction with spatial data to explore explore human and environmental systems. This course is a standard seminar focused on readings, a student-led presentations, and a final paper. NOTE: The Spring 2011 offering focuses on agent-based modeling of human and environmental systems. Students. Students in this course come from across the social, natural, and information sciences with no clear majority in any one area. This distribution makes for a lively meeting of the minds. Purpose. This course expands on aspects of GIS, statistics, and modeling covered by introductory or advanced GIS classes. It provides an overview of a variety of techniques used in spatial analysis and modeling, not only examining their technical nature but also their larger conceptual dimensions and societal ramifications. Prerequisites. In keeping with the prerequisites, students should be proficient in GIS. Students may also find it helpful, but not necessary, to have some background in statistics, calculus, and probability theory.
