Description

what people are saying about this workshop:

Just a quick note to say thank you for your workshop yesterday at the GIS Conference. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was probably one of the best overview classes in statistics I've ever taken, and certainly one of the very best classes in geoststistics. Your examples are so clear and concise and cut right to the heart of the matter. It was a whirlwind tour, and I look forward to reviewing your videos again.


This is an introductory workshop on statistics and GIS that I have successfully taught at professional one-day GIS conferences.  The workshop will help you understand the statistical techniques used in GIS, and some basic theory and background so that you can use statistics in an intelligent way.  This is less of a hands-on workshop as there is so much to cover, and is similar to what you might attend at a professional GIS conference. 

I created this workshop in response to GIS professionals wanting to know about how to properly use statistics in their work.  So, this is a nice balance of both GIS and statistics, but mostly statistics in an easily digestible 7 hour workshop - you can easily work through this on a Saturday, or perhaps 2 evenings in order to get a better understanding of statistics and how they are used in GIS. 

The actual university course I teach on this topic includes 45 hours of lecture, 30 hours of lab, with numerous homework assignments and guided reading - most professionals don't have time for that kind of commitment.  Clearly, you won't be an expert at statistics in GIS without spending lots of time practicing, but this workshop will get you started, and I've included lots of GIS examples to illustrate how to properly use statistics in your GIS work. 

Who this course is for:

  • GIS professionals looking to integrate statistical analysis into their work
  • Data scientists who want to learn how to use statistics with geographic data.
  • Academics
  • Geographers
