This course will investigate geospatial statistical analyses that aim to provide students with the background necessary to investigate geographically represented data. The specific focus will be on spatial data analysis, such as the analysis of autocorrelation, principles of geostatistics and analysis methods that are relevant in the fields of public health, environmental/earth science and social science. The focus of this course will be to gain hands-on experience in applying these techniques with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial analytical software, and essential methodological and practical issues that are involved in sophisticated spatial analyses.
