Spatial Pattern Analysis Workshop – Module 3

This third module of the Spatial Pattern Analysis workshop is about spatial modeling and some applications of spatial statistics to population science topics. There are a number of readings that will help you understand this module, as well as six presentations and an exercise.

Readings:

• Rura, Melissa J. and Daniel A. Griffith. “Spatial Statistics in SAS.” In Handbook of applied spatial analysis: software tools, methods and applications, edited by Manfred M. Fischer and Arthur Getis. Heidelberg: Springer, 2010.
• Griffith, Daniel A. “Spatial Filtering.” In Handbook of applied spatial analysis: software tools, methods and applications, edited by Manfred M. Fischer and Arthur Getis. Heidelberg: Springer, 2010.
• Oliver, Margaret A. “The Variogram and Kriging.” In Handbook of applied spatial analysis: software tools, methods and applications, edited by Manfred M. Fischer and Arthur Getis. Heidelberg: Springer, 2010.
