Spatial Statistics

Module 5 – Spatial Statistics

For this week’s assignment we went to ESRI Training website. We then setup and account for its virtual campus training where we started the course titled Exploring Spatial Patterns. We downloaded the geodatabase (gdb) for Western Europe Weather Station; we also had to complete the training and five exercises.  

In the training you learned about different types of geostatistical analysts, like Mean Center, Median Center, and Directional Distribution. In addition we also learned about Histogram, and Normal QQ plots and the information you can get from them.   For our lab assignment we were asked to create a map in ArcMap10.3 showing the Mean Center, Median Center and the Directional Distribution for the Western Europe Weather Station.  Finally, we added a North arrow, a scale bar, the title, and a subtext explaining the map’s data.
