Handbook

This course will provide students the skills to undertake sophisticated spatial (statistical) analysis and simulation. GeoComputation is in part the continuing development and application of analytical statistics that can be applied to clustering, search and measures of association over space and through time. The course will provide students with the theoretical and mathematical background behind numerous spatial analytical techniques, and also to select and integrate these methods in a way that it is appropriate for the problems addressed and the data available. Ultimately, the course will enhance the intellectual and methodological capacity of students in the domain of urban problem-solving. The course will use varied analytical environments, including software and R programming.
