Achievement

Also led by IGERT faculty Paul Voss, a second short course in Spatial Regression met eight times during spring 2012. The course continues to address the demand for formal introduction to spatial analysis. Of the 22 students, five were graduate students or postdoctoral scholars affiliated with CPC. The workshop focused on an examination of the basics of spatial regression modeling using primarily the R programming suite. Professor Voss writes, "The central case study we employed was used to illustrate spatial autocorrelation, spatial regression modeling, and specialized extensions to these approaches."
