| M21 | Spatial Statistics and Visualization with R Exercise, 3 ECTS Learning Objectives: Spatial data require specific methods of analysis. The aim of this exercise is the development of skills in dealing with different types of spatial datasets. The focus is on learning statistical methods for the analysis of spatial patterns. Course Content: Different methodological approaches will be presented and practically implemented with the statistical software R. An exemplary selection of covered topics are: Visualization of spatial data, spatial point pattern analysis, variograms, and the modeling of areal data using SAR and CAR models. | 3 | 2 | |
