We are pleased to offer you this short course jointly organised by the Administrative Data Research Centre for England (ADRC-E) and the Consumer Data Research Centre (CDRC).
In this course we will cover how to prepare and analyse spatial data in RStudio & GeoDa. We will use RStudio to perform spatial overlay techniques (such as union, intersection and buffers) to combine different spatial data layers to support a spatial analysis decision. We will also use RStudio and GeoDa to explore a range of different spatial analyses including regression, Moran’s I and clustering. By the end of the course you will understand how RStudio manages spatial data and be able to use RStudio for a range of spatial analysis.
If you are not already familiar with the basic elements of GIS or R, you may wish to attend the one-day course ‘Introduction to Spatial Data & Using R as a GIS’ prior to this course on 20 July where these skills are covered.
Course Contents:
• Basic spatial analysis and statistics, such as Moran’s I and Local Indicators of Spatial Autocorrelation
• Using GeoDa and R to perform these analysis and understand the outputs
• Be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of different pieces of software
• Perform spatial decision making in R, using buffers, overlays and spatial joins
Learning Outcomes:
• Know how to use RStudio and GeoDa for a range of spatial analysis
• Understand why spatial autocorrelation is important and how to measure it
• Be able to use GeoDa to perform clustering analysis
• Understand how to use buffers and overlays to support your proposals
• Develop your confidence in using RStudio for data handling using scripts
• Know how to develop custom functions in RStudio
