AGRI 226 - Spatial Analysis with GIS

Institution:

College of Southern Idaho

Subject:

Description:

3 Cr. Hrs This course provides an introduction to spatial analysis. The course will briefly review the principles of statistics and relate them to methods used in analysis of geographically referenced data. The course will introduce sampling strategies for data used in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) using raster and vector data structures. The fundamentals of conventional estimation techniques will be compared with geostatistical techniques. The course will present single and multi-layer statistical operations including classification, recode, interpolation, coordination, and modeling analysis using vectors, raster and TINs. Applications and problems in spatial correlation will be discussed including interpretation of results of spatial analysis and error propagation. ArcView GIS, Spatial Analysis, Network and 3D extension software will be used to demonstrate and practice basic principles of spatial analysis.
