Advanced Statistical Modelling
Description
Nau mai ki GISC404-STAT450 - welcome to GISC404-STAT450. This course provides an introduction to a range of statistical techniques used in the analysis of spatial data. It will cover the basic concepts and techniques of spatial data analysis (SDA) and provide a wide range of applications examples from various fields such as geology, demographics, epidemiology and environmental sciences. A comprehensive lab programme uses a variety of software packages (including ArcGIS, Geoda, geoR) to explore and analyse spatial data using the techniques taught in the course.
