Spatial Analysis Essentials for ArcGIS

£1,070.00

Unlock insights hiding in data.

This course is for anyone who needs a solid grounding in spatial analysis concepts and workflows. Discover how analysing data based on location can reveal previously unknown patterns and relationships, illuminating new possibilities and deeper insights to share with stakeholders. You’ll tackle a variety of real-world projects as you explore interesting scenarios and learn a standard, repeatable workflow to increase accuracy and confidence in your analysis results.

Those who have previously attended Using Spatial Analysis in ArcGIS Pro should not take this course as many of the same concepts are covered.

Description

2 Days
Who is this course for?
GIS professionals who need to analyse spatial patterns and need to know how data is moving and changing in their project area. Also, those who need to know how accurate their data is and how this accuracy will affect their results
Goals
Understand the types of spatial analysis and techniques you can apply based on the question you want to answer or the problem you want to solve.
Organise a project for success by planning each analysis step, choosing suitable tools, and preparing data to ensure valid results.
Automate analysis workflows using batch-processing and models that let you quickly and interactively explore multiple scenarios.
Sample workflows used for more complex projects, including interpolation and suitability modelling, and evaluate results using spatial statistics.
