Description

Gain proficiency in the mastery of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) via ArcGIS Desktop

This course teaches you the most important aspects of spatial data analysis using ArcGIS. It is highly beneficial for both those wanting to learn spatial data analysis and/or gain familiarity with the ArcGIS ecosystem First, we'll start some basic GIS tasks like 'Zooming'. Then, we'll move into more complex processing tasks like 'Geo-Statistics'. We'll also deal with some theoretical concepts related to Spatial Data Analysis, and then we'll focus on implementing some of the most common GIS techniques (all the way showing you how to execute these tasks in ArcGIS Desktop). The stuff you'll learn from this course will be extremely useful in terms of you being able to implement it on future Spatial Data projects you'll be working on. The course is a hands-on training with real data. It's a step by step course covering both the theory and application of Spatial Data Analysis. This is one of the most comprehensive courses on this topic.

About the Author

Minerva Singh

Minerva Singh is a PhD graduate from Cambridge University where she specialized in Tropical Ecology. She is also a part-time Data Scientist. As part of her research, she must carry out extensive data analysis, including spatial data analysis. For this purpose, she prefers to use a combination of freeware tools: R, QGIS, and Python. She does most of her spatial data analysis work using R and QGIS. Apart from being free, these are very powerful tools for data visualization, processing, and analysis. She also holds an MPhil degree in Geography and Environment from Oxford University. She has honed her statistical and data analysis skills through several MOOCs, including The Analytics Edge and Statistical. In addition to spatial data analysis, she is also proficient in statistical analysis, machine learning, and data mining.
