Eric Pimpler – Spatial Analytics with ArcGIS

Spatial statistics has the potential to provide insight that is not otherwise available through traditional GIS tools. This book is designed to introduce you to the use of spatial statistics so you can solve complex geographic analysis. The book begins by introducing you to the many spatial statistics tools available in ArcGIS. You will learn how to analyze patterns, map clusters, and model spatial relationships with these tools. Further on, you will explore how to extend the spatial statistics tools currently available in ArcGIS, and use the R programming language to create custom tools in ArcGIS through the ArcGIS Bridge using real-world examples. At the end of the book, you will be presented with two exciting case studies where you will be able to practically apply all your learning to analyze and gain insights into real estate data.

What you will learn:

Get to know how to measure geographic distributions
Perform clustering analysis including hot spot and outlier analysis
Conduct data conversion tasks using the Utilities toolset
Understand how to use the tools provided by the Mapping Clusters toolset in the Spatial Statistics Toolbox
Get to grips with the basics of R for performing spatial statistical programming
Create custom ArcGIS tools with R and ArcGIS Bridge
Understand the application of Spatial Statistics tools and the R programming language through case studies
