1. Spatial Clustering:
Definition: Spatial clustering involves grouping spatial
objects based on their proximity in space.
Example: Consider a dataset of customer locations in a city.
Spatial clustering could be applied to group customers who
live in close proximity, helping a business identify potential
locations for a new store or tailor marketing strategies to
specific neighborhoods.
2. Spatial Pattern Mining:
Definition: Spatial pattern mining focuses on discovering
interesting and non-trivial patterns within spatial data.
Example: Imagine a dataset representing the locations of
reported cases of a disease. Spatial pattern mining could
reveal clusters or hotspots where the disease is more
prevalent. This information is crucial for public health officials
to allocate resources efficiently or investigate the causes of
the disease's concentration in specific areas.
3. Spatial Data Analysis:
Definition: Spatial data analysis involves examining and
interpreting the characteristics and relationships within spatial
data.
Example: Suppose you have a dataset of air quality
measurements across a city. Spatial data analysis could help
identify areas with higher pollution levels, assess whether
certain geographic features (e.g., proximity to highways)
correlate with increased pollution, and guide urban planning
decisions to improve air quality.
Certainly! Let's explore the techniques of sequential pattern mining, time-
series analysis, and prediction models:
