ADVANCED QUANTITATIVE METHODS

GEOG 510

Theoretical aspects of spatial economic distributions and locational analysis.

STAT 456

Theory and applications of multivariate statistical methods. Basic concepts and statistical reasoning which underlie the techniques of multivariate analysis. Ideas rather than derivations stressed although basic models discussed to provide a sense of adequacy in particular situations. Acquaintance with and use of existing computer programs in the multivariate analysis area.

GEOG 900

Surveys recent and classic works in geography.

GEOG 579

Principles and algorithms for spatial analysis in geographic imformation systems. A theoretical and practical examination of analytical methods used in GIS, including point, line and polygon processing, interpolation, smoothing, spatial overlay and query, network analysis, terrain analysis, and classification.

STAT 575

Detecting, quantifying, and modeling spatial patterns and structure in data. Variograms and covariance functions, linear predictions with uncertainty qualification, and conditional simulations. Spectral domain models and spectral densities. Spatial point processes. Contemporary applications and Gaussian process model fitting at scale.
