Pattern analysis

The presentation on Spatial Pattern Analysis with ArcGIS covers the fundamentals of spatial statistics, including descriptive statistics, spatial autocorrelation, and the significance of z-scores and p-values. It emphasizes the importance of spatial statistics in assessing patterns, relationships, and trends in geographic data, and provides demos on topics like piracy and childhood obesity. Additional resources for learning more about spatial statistics are also provided.

Spatial Pattern Analysis

with ArcGIS
Lauren Rosenshein
Presentation Outline

• Spatial Statistics Overview


• Spatial Pattern Analysis
- Descriptive spatial statistics
- Global and local spatial autocorrelation statistics
- What is a z score? What is a p-value?
- Spatial weights

• Additional Resources

DEMOS
• The spatial pattern of piracy
• Exploring Childhood Obesity using Hot Spot Analysis

What are spatial statistics in a GIS environment?

• Software-based tools, methods, and techniques developed


specifically for use with geographic data.
• Spatial statistics:
– Describe and model spatial distributions, spatial
patterns, spatial processes, and spatial relationships.
– Incorporate space (area, length, proximity, orientation,
and/or spatial relationships) directly into their
mathematics.

In many ways spatial statistics extend what the eyes


and mind do intuitively to assess spatial patterns,
trends and relationships.

3
Why use spatial statistics?

• Spatial Statistics help us assess:


•Patterns

•Relationships

•Trends

How we present our results (colors,


class breaks, symbols…) can either
enhance or obscure communication.

5
Spatial Statistics Toolbox in ArcGIS

• Core functionality with


ArcGIS (not an extension).
• Most tools delivered with
their source code.
• Most tools available at all
license levels.

6
Mean Center Animation

• Questions
– Which site is most accessible?
– Is there a directional trend to the
spatial distribution of incidents?
– What is the primary direction for
auto theft and recovery?
– Where is the crime center?
– Which gang has the broadest
territory?

7
Directional Distribution

• Abstracting spatial trends in a distribution of features


• Comparing distributions over time

•1 = 68% of features
•2 = 95% of features
•3 = 99% of features

The Spatial Pattern of Piracy
Demo
What is a z-score? What is a p-value?
z-scores: -2.58 -1.96 -1.65 …(0.0)… 1.65 1.96 2.58
p-values: 0.01 0.05 0.10 …(1.0)… 0.10 0.05 0.01

• The null hypothesis for the


ArcGIS Spatial Pattern
Analysis tools is CSR:
Complete Spatial Randomness

• Reject the null hypothesis if


the result (the p-value/z score)
is statistically significant

Z Score P-Value Confidence


(Standard (Probability) Level
Deviations)

+/-1.65 0.10 90%


+/-1.96 0.05 95%
+/-2.58 0.01 99%
