27 Spatial Statistics Describe and model spatial distributions, spatial patterns, spatial processes, and spatial relationships Incorporate space (area, length, proximity, orientation, and/or spatial relationships) directly into their mathematics Data Exploration Patterns Relationships Trends

28 Spatial Statistics Toolbox 1. Analyzing Patterns 2. Mapping Clusters 3. Measuring Geographic Distributions 4. Modeling Spatial Relationships 5. Rendering 6. Utilities 29

29 Measuring Geographic Distribution Analyzing Patterns Mapping Clusters Modeling Spatial Relationships Central Feature Mean Center Questions Which site is most accessible? Is there a directional trend to the spatial distribution of the disease? What is the primary wind direction for this region in the winter? Where is the population center? Which species has the broadest territory?

30 Measuring Geographic Distribution Analyzing Patterns Mapping Clusters Modeling Spatial Relationships Which plant species is most concentrated? Does the spatial pattern of the disease mirror the spatial pattern of the population at risk? Is there an unexpected spike in pharmaceutical purchases? Are new AIDs cases remaining geographically fixed? 31

31 Measuring Geographic Distribution Analyzing Patterns Mapping Clusters Modeling Spatial Relationships High Poverty High Poverty Surrounded by Low poverty Low Poverty Low poverty Surrounded by High Poverty Where are their sharp boundaries between affluence and poverty in Ecuador? Where do we find anomalous spending patterns in Kiev? Where are the emergency call hot spots? Where do we see unexpectedly high rates of diabetes?

32 Measuring Geographic Distribution Analyzing Patterns Mapping Clusters Modeling Spatial Relationships Can I model spatial relationships based on a real road network? Are spatial weights matrix files editable, sharable, re-usable? Can I create a custom spatial weights matrix file? Construct spatial weights matrix files What is the relationship between educational attainment and income? Is there a relationship between income and public transportation usage? Is that relationship consistent across the study area? Ordinary Least Squares Geographically Weighted Regression

33 Regression analysis in Desktop GIS Ordinary Least Squares Regression Geographically Weighted Regression 100 Population Feature Class Income Feature Class Output Feature Class Observed Values Predicted Values Intercept Coefficient Coefficient + Surface + Surface = Crime 34

36 Scatterplot Matrix Graphs Interactive selection Maps Graphs Tables 37

37 Geostatistical Analysis Explore data variability, look for data outliers, examine global trends, and investigate spatial autocorrelation and the correlation between multiple data sets. Create prediction, prediction standard errors, the probability that specified threshold was exceeded, and quantile maps using various geostatistical models and tools.
