Faculty of Arts
Spatial data science is useful in many fields, including big data, population health sciences, biological sciences, earth sciences, medicine, engineering and social sciences. In this course, you will learn how to manipulate, analyze and model spatial data. Sections of the course focus on stochastic simulation and Monte Carlo methods in point-pattern analysis, spatial autocorrelation and geostatistics. Practical applications utilize the open-source software and data science computing languages (e.g. R, Python), no previous experience required. At the end of this course, you will have a toolbox of spatial analytical skills and a solid understanding of their appropriate applications to real-world questions.
