Spatial Pattern Analysis with ArcGIS

—Lauren Rosenshein, Esri

This session will introduce basic concepts of pattern analysis using tools in the Spatial Statistics toolbox. With examples from a range of application areas (such as crime, epidemiology, demographics), it will present tools for summarizing characteristics of a spatial distribution (for example, mean center or directional trend), identifying statistically significant spatial clusters (hot and cold spots) or spatial outliers, and assessing overall patterns of clustering or dispersion.
